Love is a burning thing And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire

A gravação que se tornou a mais famosa foi feita em 25 de março de 1963, com Johnny Cash adicionando um arranjo de trompetes estilo mariachi ao clássico original.
Embora tenha sido escrita por June Carter e Merle Kilgore, a música já existia em forma de "(Love's) Ring of Fire" quando foi gravada pela irmã de June, Anita Carter, em 1962, mas só atingiu sucesso quando Johnny Cash regravou-a.
A versão de Cash ficou no topo das paradas americanas por sete semanas consecutivas, tornando-se o maior sucesso de sua carreira até então.
June Carter explicou que a frase "Love is like a burning ring of fire" vinha de um livro de poesia de seu tio A. P. Carter, evidenciando a influência familiar na composição.
O tema da música – comparar o amor ao fogo – acabou sendo usado em diversos programas de televisão e filmes de drama, reforçando sua imagem como um hino de paixão intensa.
