Does this song exist? I'm convinced there's a Johnny Cash song where he's hunting, sitting on a hill or something, and he shoots a man by accident and feels really bad about it. It's a slowish song... Does it really exist? Is it maybe not Johnny Cash?

It doesn't sound familiar to me, but I am by no means any sort of expert on things Cash. I will say that, while slowish + regret would certainly be in his ballpark, it would also fit a lot of other folks, too.

In other words, I can't really help you. Sorry. Good luck, though.

Yeah, it's called I Hung My Head - it's actually a Sting song he covered on American IV

Hee! Sorry, rhapsodie - I couldn't believe I managed to answer it before anyone else did, especially as I'm not really a Cash fan (but do have the "American" albums).
