I don't have the rest of the words to the song...Just listen to it for them.  
There are someparts im sure arn't correct but its close and should be good enough to get you started  
Riff 2 might be a bit off...Listen to the recording to get it perfect.

One of Cash's best songs right here he was a great man..
