John,
There's always this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqpPj87ekE
The Johnny Cash discography is pretty diffuse and so there are a million compilations that include all manner of permutations of his greatest hits. The song originally appeared on the 1971 album of the same name

Why Johnny Cash wore black
He tells us in his autobiography: I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion - against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas. Cash told ...
Well you wonder why I always dress in black.
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to take a somber tone
Well there's a reason for the things I have on
I wear the black for the poor and beaten down, living on the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime but is there because he is a victim of the time
I wear the black for those who never read or listened to the words that Jesus said about the road to happiness through love and charity
Why you would think he is talking straight to you and me
Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
But just so we're reminded of those who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black
I wear it for the sick and lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
And I wear it for the thousands who have died, believing that the Lord was on their side
I wear for another hundred thousand who have died believing that we all were on their side
Well there are things that never will be right I know
And things need changing everywhere you go
But until we start to make a move to make a few things right
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
Ahhh! I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
And tell the world that everything's okay
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
Till things are brighter
I'm the Man in Black
