The Johnny Cash Children's Album is the 48th album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1975 (see 1975 in music). As the title implies, it contains songs written for children. Among others, this includes "Tiger Whitehead", a song later released on Cash's posthumous Personal File album in 2006. Most of the songs on the album had not been performed by Cash before. "Old Shep" had been performed by Elvis Presley, among others. The Johnny Cash Children's Album was reissued in 2006 (see 2006 in music) through Legacy Recordings, with four bonus tracks, including Henry Clay Work's "My Grandfather's Clock". An early version of "My Grandfather's Clock" was recorded in 1958 and is available on Songs of Our Soil.
