@Helotes420 you don't have to be a smart ass, i watched a documentery of the show at folsom prison and it said he wrote it after the folsom prison show. I didn't treat you like a dumb dick when i said that so there is no reason to be a dick head to me ass hole.
Real name Nathaniel Lawson? hmm, I thought this was based on William Robinson the black soft-shoe dancer in the early Shirley Temple movies known as Mr. Bojangles who JJ Walker met while in jail in New Orleans!
mesmerizing! finally found this after years of searching. also the 45 disc is the ''original'' for me.the accompaniment separates this from all other versions,none of which even come close.
agreed. as much as sammy does it well, n the nitty aswell, there is nothing as good as hearing it with all the soul of the original. funny that within 4 hrs of you posting a comment, i watch it. and its been here for coming on to a year now. ive watched this one from a dozen computers with different users. and countless times from mine.

It's a shame that as of this posting there were only 66 views of this beautiful, original version of a classic tune.
