Kind of ruined. Should never do covers of anyone as great as JOhnny Cash, because you will never get anywhere the same level, which means your version will sound crap. Same goes for the prefessionals, not just you.
Ambidexter143 is apparently 60 years old....you'd think he'd have more sense than saying this version is better than the "mamby-pamby song about some chimney sweep" .....sounds like another clown that gives Americans a bad name
What's wrong with my comment that's got your panties in a knot?
BTW, I'm 61 and an immigrant to this country. You may be an American citizen because of an accident of birth, I'm one because I chose to be one. So please excuse me when I tell you to grow the fuck up.
The lyrics of the original bawdy Victorian ballad about the Chimney Sweep who went to Newgate Gallows are a lot more forthright than this modern, cleaned up version. Also they contain a lot more swearing.
Yes, I did a cover of the Cash version, which I prefer (although it's the RECENT Cash version ... his older version from the 50s or 60s was less profane).
Clint eastwood sings an older version in Two mules for sister sara.

This is the version I learned years ago, not the mamby-pamby song about some chimney sweep.
