Underrated Johnny Cash songs
Oli:
Hung my heart, give my love to rose, I'm free from the chain gang now.
thegreatbuddha:
Speaking of chain gangs, There Ain't No Good Chain Gang is a great song. +Waylon Jennings FTW
Speaking of Waylon Jennings, Highwayman is also a great song. If my memory hasn't failed me yet, it's Waylon Jennings, Niel Young, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson. No Cash, but still worth the $$.

As a huuuge Cash fan, this question is pretty hard, just because I'm not sure what are considered songs that everyone knows.
As has been previously mentioned, "One Piece At A Time" is a gem. Plus, it's the first instance of the word "psychobilly", so all the psycho kids love this one.
My own pick, if I was forced to only pick one, though, is "Mean Eyed Cat". There's two different versions of this song - one from the Sun Studio days, and then he later re-recorded it for "Unchained". I personally prefer the original, because it doesn't have the extra verses present in the Unchained version, and is more quiet.
"Daddy Sang Bass" is beautiful and auto-biographical.
"Understand Your Man" - Ahhhh. Great. Not much else to say but to listen to it.
Other notables would be the duet with Dylan on "Girl From North Country", a live cover of "Me and Bobby McGee", "Wayfaring Stranger", "Joe Bean" and "Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart" and frankly about 100 more.
