She got the phrase "love is like a burning ring of fire" from a book of Elizabethan poetry belonging to her uncle, the great A. P. Carter. Anita Carter recorded it first but Johnny dreamed about Mexican horns--& added them when he recorded his version.
This link has the lyrics, the story & brief clips of assorted versions of the song--from Cash to Zappa. One correction: the Spanish-language versions aren't mariachi--they're conjunto.
