  • This is good. But Kenny Rodgers version is better!

  • @jameshlfc indeed!

  • I've gotta tell you, Johnny Cash mmust have covered every great song ever written, and made it better than the original.......except for this one sadly.....Kenny Rogers was just too good, even though Cash was definitely the greatest musician ever

  • @beccaNemily101 oh really bobby bare sings it better

    

  • I love Johnny and it's great that you put his music up, but isn't it a bit pretentious to call this a "Movie made in Norway" ;)

  • no disrespect to the god of country, but kenny is better

  • Is there any song that johnny can't cover without making it better?

    R.I.P. JR Cash

  • much better than the original

  • Who copied who ?

    Did Kenny Copy Johnny Or The other way around

  • @DarkxSn1p3z11 I don't know who did it first but neither of them wrote it actually, it was written by a man named Don Schlitz.

  • @ragincajun2288

    You are exactly right.

    Sclitz penned this one.

    It was recorded by Kenny Rogers in 1978,

    and it hit #7 on the charts here in the USA in 1979.

    Kenny's other notable hits were:

    "She Believes in Me", and "Coward of the County"

  • @gengspatton, you're a fuckin moron!

  • Kenny Rogers sucks donkey dick!!!! Cash is the fuckin man!!!!

  • @wanchastu Oh come on...he was great in the Muppet video of The Gambler. Hilarious stuff.

  • Great song,and oh so true

  • I always misunderstand the refrain: NO WIN to hold'em, NO WIN to fold'em

  • @dailymotionftw1 Iso JEEEES. Olet jummartanut... ;-P

  • @dailymotionftw1 Iso JEEEES. Olet jummartanut... ;-P

  • you to know when to hold em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run, you gotta count you're money, if yah sitting at the table, they'll be time enough for campin, when the dealins done...

  • Why'd you have to tack an advertisement to this one, darnit.

  • @inuyashasfirstlove94 yo....you cannot like this song without liking th originall..oter songs..yeah go for it...but all the creit for this song goes to kenny, and kenny alone.. :)

  • i thought kenny rodgers sang this????

  • @jackyboy1103 He did...Rogers co wrote the song...Cash later recorded it...Rogers had a #1 in 78 with it. Cash did it in 79 IIRC.

  • @jackyboy1103 This is a cover. Johnny Cash did a LOT of covers. Neil Young, Tom Petty, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, and the list goes on and on

  • If you're going to play the Game Boy™, you better learn to play it right.

  • i like johnny cashes version better

  • Thumbs up if you think johnny cash is amazing, but kenny rogers version is better

  • thing i like about this type of music is artista enjoyed sharing it with eachother as that was part of the fun of making music and it made some songs better , whereas now its "oh bitch u copies my song ill sue u"... such a shame /:, go cash :D

  • Great song......Story told and with love of lyric!

  • the Kenny Rogers version has an almost Zen quality to it

  • I love this version. I want it played on my funeral. I should write it down to my testament. :-)

  • i love this one better then kenny rodgers

  • kenny rogers invented this song thats why its beter

  • " 9 dont like ?!" << they will burn at the hell

  • This is learning for life!

  • 9 people didn't know how to fold em :\

  • i love johnny cash but this song doesnt suit him it really sounds like he is just saying the words of the song n no emotion thats y kenny's is better so much better

  • @shiichan32 i actully like johnnys version better, i think it sounds much deeper with a low voice.

  • @shiichan32 Johnny Cash's voice is nothing but pure emotion

  • @gfdsdfgfdfg i didnt say that im talking in this song that it sounds like he is just saying the words not feelings i love johnny cash just not in this song is all

  • what CD was this on?

  • Du som har laga videoen da @kaste94? Tror itte godeste Johnny Cash spilte inn noen videoer i norge.. Han Spilte inn en plate på østeråker fengsel i sverige, men je har aldri finni noe han gar gitt ut i fra norge.

  • Thanks for the info...in my ignorance, I thought it was a Kenny Rogers original. Always happy to learn something new.

  • I think this version is the best, it sounds the best with a lower voice. =]

  • wooooow just wooow this is how u sing and how become an artist not like justin fucking beiber or that gaga thing .

    big fan of johnny from saudi arabia.

    piece

  • If you're going to play THE GAME boy, You better learn to play it right.

    We all lost the game listening to this song.

  • @TheMasterTelevision

    hahaha brilliant!

  • @TheMasterTelevision i thought we were winning...no? shit they lied! or should i say bluffed?

  • @TheMasterTelevision This song is win

  • I love Johnny cash, but this is far better done by Kenny Rogers. Cash seems to not put a lot of emotion into this song. Anyway, good song just not as good.

  • @sparky99eagle I agree,man. hearing this song done by Mr. Cash is just weird.....Don'ty get me wrong I love Johnny Cash....but when he does this song it just seems like he's reading the song not singing it,no feeling. Kenny's version in infinity superior .

  • thanks, watch our new video lord want you help me!

  • its play the game boy, ( refers to playing the card game male child) play the game, boy

  • I like the version better than kenny rogers. The only thing i really ever liked about kenny rogers were those madtv skits they used to do on how batshit crazy he was.

  • I learned to play my Gameboy right

  • I love Johnny..:))) Hope to share a wisky and a sigar if we meet on the other side...))

  • @timea6 WHISKY and CIGAR boy.  Try not to look like a greenhorn on the otherside either, son.

  • I love this song, but this version is BLAH!

  • I ment " asked for a light " in the real version

  • Jhonny cash didn't record this song he did a cover version beacuse you can tell by he sang " then he bummed a light " but in the real version by Kenny Rogers it was " then he asked me for a light "

  • 5 people are out of aces.

  • bla bla bla bla

    hill shut up

  • I absolutely love Johnny Cash, but I prefer Kenny Rodgers version.

    Altho I did like it.

  • i am a very big fan of johnny and never heard this song, does anybody know what album he recorded this song for?

  • good song

  • one of the best songs i have ever heard i just wish i was old enough to have gone and seen him when he was still alive

  • @98GMClowrider Same... I ahve grown up listening to many singers and bands of the last 2 generations and encounter this problem often.

  • hes da bomb

  • Amazing voice.

  • @mreman81

    Lool no it isn't they didn't have Gameboys in the 50's.

  • @mreman81

    would you be Brute, is poker, not to play the gameboy. It's "If you're gonna play the Game, boy"

    (and i'm not trying to offend you, is an expression)

  • @mreman81 Actually this song was made before someone even though of video game systems handheld and all

  • @onlyme101791 @sterilla @DwarfElfZombie You do know that was a joke...right?

  • @DwarfElfZombie @onlyme101791 @strerilla A sense of humor. You need one.

  • @Sparrow476 I don't even remember what I said with that being said I was probably extremely tired and lost my sense of humor when I needed to be asleep .-. hell I think I lost my spelling as well XDDDDD

  • @mreman81

    I thought it was only me thought that!!!

  • @mreman81 its gameboy or game, boy ?

  • @viskaelfcb its game, boy. '' gameboys '' didnt exist

  • @mreman81 i can't tell if you're being serious about that comment, all i can say is that it made my day =]

  • I've never heard this song, but even with Johnny Cash (THE man among men) singing it, I can't say I care much for it.

  • This is not only a good song but it teaches a good moral.

  • best singer ever<33 r.i.p johnny.

  • Johnny Cash is amazing!

  • prefer cash's cover by far

  • kenny rogers is better

  • @graffitinoah go eat a bullet

  • @graffitinoah i have to agree with you there, sorry sepultado13 but this version just isnt as good

  • I wish I knew you.

  • R.I.P Johnny thank you for the memories

  • Comment removed

  • @floydian06 Don Schiltz was born in 1952 how he can wrote The Gambler in 1952

  • @Jefflaley

    OK, I apologize, I misread. He wrote "The Gambler" in 1978(and his version was released as a single the same year, along with the other versions. Talk about a hot number!)

  • @floydian06

    Don Schlitz was born in 1952. His career must've blossomed early. ;)

  • @floydian06 lol maybe you should do some research before making a comment like that

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @floydian06

    The gambler was written in 1978 by Don Schiltz, not 1952(in which he was born), for Kenny Rogers

  • Kenny Rogers actually covered it, his version was the one that made it famour though

  • This is the first time I have heard Johnny Cash sing this song and as usual he does a great job. He may not be the best version but you lose nothing by listening to him.

    R.I.P. John

  • Not bad Johnny, but the # 1 Spot still belongs to Kenny!

  • @Trauer12345 then it's kind of like your mother.

  • U like the singing i like the meaning cuz im pokerplayer

  • love the song but it`s not his

  • the original song was by kenny rogers

    but this is a great cover

  • @easywaytomake Johhny cash made this song first. This was before he was famous.

  • Great cover

  • Estupenda canción. Nunca me canso de escucharla. Todos los que se han atrevido a cantarla lo hacen bien, cada uno a su manera, pero todas son dignas de una buena obra. Las voces de Johnny, de Kenny son distintas pero cada una tiene su encanto.

  • Very Cool

  • hello Johnnny

  • this song just doesn't suit cash

  • Johnny always had a great cover!

  • He is an amazing singer!I like Kenny's verison.But his is better.<3

  • Greay song, cool version. Weird to think this song could have begun as a Willie Nelson song, he turned it down and offered it to Kenny Rogers due to him having just recorded Red Headed Stranger

  • johnnys is better than kennys

  • this song is better with johnny cash kenny version is good but this one is better

  • kenny cut part of the song out

  • The song is actually Kenny Rogers'. Performed previously by two others artists but never charted until Kenny performed it. I ain't saying Johnny's performance isn't good, I love Johnny and he's my best. Just thought I'd lighten the facts.

  • for a country singer I love johnny cash

  • beautiful

  • i love johnny cash ive been listning to him 19 of 22 years ive been alive lol

  • I want that pickguard.
