Actually Johnny didn't own it. It belonged to Shel Silverstein, one of the
reat
humourists of the latter 20th century.  Bv)=  

Sheldon Allan "Shel" Silverstein (September 25, 1932 - May 10, 1999) was an
American poet, singer-songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter
and author of children's books. He styled himself as Uncle Shelby on his
children's books, and some sources incorrectly state that he was born Shelby
Silverstein. He signed some cartoons simply S.S. Translated into 20 languages,
his books have sold over 20 million copies.

Silverstein's passion for music was clear early on as he studied briefly at
Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. His musical output
included a large catalog of songs; a number of which were hits for other
artists, most notably the rock group Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. He wrote
Tompall Glaser's highest-charting solo single "Put Another Log on the Fire,"
"One's on the Way" (a hit for Loretta Lynn), "The Unicorn" (which became the
signature piece for the Irish Rovers in 1968) and "25 Minutes to Go", sung by
Johnny Cash, about a man on Death Row with each line counting down one minute
closer. Silverstein also wrote one of Johnny Cash's best known whimsical hits,
"A Boy Named Sue".

He wrote the lyrics and music for most of the Dr. Hook songs, including "The
Cover of the Rolling Stone", "Freakin' at the Freakers' Ball," "Sylvia's
Mother", "The Things I Didn't Say" and a cautionary song about venereal
disease, "Don't Give a Dose to the One You Love Most". He wrote many of the
songs performed by Bobby Bare, including "Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe", "The
Mermaid", "The Winner" and "Tequila Sheila". He co-wrote with Baxter Taylor
"Marie Laveau", for which the songwriters received a 1975 BMI Award. "The
Mermaid" was covered in 2005 by Great Big Sea, which released its version on
The Hard and the Easy album.

Cribbed from a Google search on shel+silverstein+biography. Silverstein snuffed
it in 1999. The world is a somewhat poorer place for that.
