June inspired it when she told Johnny “loving you is like being caught in a ring of fire”, but she didn’t write the song. It’s a common myth that she penned the actual song.

Huh, I may have it wrong... but that would mean wikipedia has it wrong.

Says June Carter and Merle Kilgore wrote the original version, sung originally by June's sister Anita.

Maybe Johnny edited it a bit?
