"See Ruby Fall" is a song co-written by Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.[2][3] The title is a play on the phrase "See Ruby Falls", which is painted on some Southern barn roofs to direct potential tourists to a well-known waterfall in Chattanooga.
Recorded by Cash at the Columbia Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 20, 1969,[2] the song was released as a single (Columbia 4-45020, with "Blistered" that was recorded two days earlier[2] on the opposite side)[4][5][6][7] in October.[4]
On U.S. Billboard's country chart, the single charted as a double-A-side, reaching #4.[8] On the Hot 100, "Blistered" reached #50, and "See Ruby Fall" #75.[9] (according to some sources, both songs reached #50).[10]
Both "Blistered" and "See Ruby Fall" are part of Johnny Cash's album Hello, I'm Johnny Cash (out in January 1970).
