Anyway, I don't know why bands today think they have to scream bloody murder to make a song powerful and dark. In my opinion it's just because they can't sing. And I find it funny that heavy metal fanboys think that all other music (like rap) is the same stuff over and over when it's clear ALL music today is the same thing..over and over.
This is not the complete version. There's antoher old version of the song, that includes more lycris. You can find it on Johnny Cash The Man in Black (1991)
I do. This version's more haunting to me. I had it on an album called "The World of Johnny Cash" when I was a kid. The other song on the album that seemed very haunting to me was Johnny's version of a song called Suppertime, a spiritual about a man looking back on his childhood and his mother calling him to supper at the close of day. That the same guy could sound so authentic on songs with such completely opposite themes is amazing.
The first one I heard was Bobby Bare's, and it is just as morbid as JC's.. Oddly enough it Bobby's isn't posted on Youtube.

Johnny Cash = Heavy Metal of Country.

Can someone please tell me the lyrics when he says at the very end something like, "Oh Delia, Delia's gone like a two [eyed] ....? Is that right?

I like this more than the newer version.
The 'ooos' in the back ground make it better.
Who agrees?

I definitely like this better. Not because of the ooo's but I just like it better.
