"See Ruby Fall" is a song co-written by Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. 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, the song was released as a single (Columbia 4-45020, with "Blistered" that was recorded two days earlier on the opposite side) in October.
On U.S. Billboard country chart, the single charted as a double-A-side, reaching #4. On the Hot 100, "Blistered" reached #50, and "See Ruby Fall" #75. (according to some sources, both songs reached #50).
Both "Blistered" and "See Ruby Fall" were later included on Johnny Cash's album Hello, I'm Johnny Cash, released in January 1970.
