[teddybrusky]

quoting the lyrics is the most fagoty damn thing you can do

[thagodf4th3r]

REAL GANGSTA BEFORE IT WAS MAINSTREAM

[MrClemski007]

@thagodf4th3r this song was written in 1929, bet they were reall hip hopping then.

[thagodf4th3r]

@MrClemski007 wasn't it about 1957?

[MrClemski007]

@thagodf4th3r upon revisiting sites it had been brought to my attention that this song had been around since 1905 and attributed to a travelling bluesman named G. Porter and picked up and even recorded by a revivalist named Reverend Gary Davis it has ben recorded since by different artistsunder different names, most notably, 'Coco Blues'.

[aanleunwoning]

[Brodimagana]

I'm getting this man's face tattooed on my back. Him and Jimi Hendrix. Two idols who's souls live on.

[jimiguitar100]

@Brodimagana I think Johnny would say to you that you don't need idols. I was feeling the same about my favorite artists, but now they are just Gods children to me. Please dont get me wrong, i am not trying to be smart. I'm just sharing my experiences. Not to celebrate the creature but the Creator, That's all. Take care mate..

[hellotojohnny]

..you are the only one for me!..every day i listen to your music!!..from italy

[MegaCoffee90]

@ graytharaven a long explanation but well worth the time to say becuase it was all true. And right there with you on the whiskey and pussy but haven't done cocain haha

[MegaCoffee90]

Favorite musician with a hell of song.

[TurtlesGetMeWet94]

I thought i was her daddy but she had 5 more :)

[Lukiel666]

Pure genius. Now all we have is predigested peurile pap.RIP Johhny.

[scruffy122668]

My daughter is 12 and disableed, this is her favorite song. She walked up to me the other day after she had been at her dad's shooting guns, she brought a shell, she said "mom you could put cocaine in here" . I damn near fell out my chair until I figured out what she meant... shoot cocaine etc. hahahaha.

[Kidacekfull]

@scruffy122668  :D

[MrMaGurth]

[Snarkyone1965]

To this day I can't hear a Johnny Cash song and not think of my grandfather and shed a tear or two. Johnny was a hero of my grandfathers and by proxy a hero of mine as well. Enjoy your peace Mr. Cash you earned it.

[jamiemenuez]

[moyerman2000]

to lines are incorrect. 1."shot her down because she made me slow"

2."the verdict read in the 1st degree, i hollered lordy lordy have a mercy on me"

that is what the lyrics are. before saying i'm wrong listen VERY carefully to these parts.

[moyerman2000]

@moyerman2000 oh and 3."You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"

[siensone]

@BloodSpawn33 Haha, thanks bud.

[alexhoffy]

Shot her down because she made me SLOW

I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

[Kittennpants]

:D icant forget the day i shot that bad bitch down!

[GiantDoucheNG]

what the fuck happened to country music

[thamescanada]

@GiantDoucheNG Johnny died..

[GrayThaRaven]

@thamescanada i completely agree hahaha johnny cash was to put it at the very least a legend its almost an insult to classify him as just a legend lol maybe like a musical prophet or gift from heaven god aliens buddha hahaha hes so beast which is why im devoting the rest of my time here on earth to sing and make music till i reach his level i think if i can even get close to his level in todays music world that would be an achievement that tops all others so hopefully u along with any other

[GrayThaRaven]

johnny cash fans will show support or if anything jus not publically hate haha yall can listen to my songs once i make them of course and think wow you sir are terrible in every aspect of music haha and thatd be perfectly cool if thats ur 100% honest opinion but if for some reason u jus had to publically express ur hatred and had to lemme know every day or else u wouldnt function then i guess but if yall can jus keep tha hatred to urself lol and instead drop some constructive criticism lol

[GrayThaRaven]

cuz i think everyone will agree another comment sayin u blow dosent help any artist improve but anyway ill let you along with everyone else know when i upload some tracks and i want yalls honest opinion i might at first jus do some covers of johnny cash and then embark on my own songs but yea im hopin johnny cash fans will respect the art of music and anyone who tries to get in the game cuz as of right now ive jus been rapping lol and it seems like the hip hop community not everyone but a very

[GrayThaRaven]

large % of people have one goal and thats to hate and basically do everything they can to bring u down and stop u from makin music i never could and still cant understand like what do people get out off hating on a complete stranger doin what they love for no reason and what really annoys me is they hate soooo bad on youtube cuz as soon as someone makes an account on here they turn into billy bad ass lol its almost as bad as the forums on ufc.com hahaha aparantly the image of the united states

[GrayThaRaven]

is fake cuz everyone in the us is an insanly in shape ufc fighter haha like no joke wether ur into ufc or not go to the website and read the forums hahaha keyboard warriors at their finest lol anyway ive totally went off subject yea anyway i originally was writing cuz ur comment was totally true and exactly the truth i mean i couldnt have said it better you can find a million teen agers out there who without autotune they wouldnt have a damn shot but if u made a bet that u wouldnt eat another

[GrayThaRaven]

@thamescanada piece of food until they find another johnny cash well u might as well start diggin their grave cuz they starve before they even got close lol to put this in simpler terms johnny cash will not and can not be replaced but i think everyone is still waitin for someone to make music like they did back in cash's day and i am gonna do it im givin up rap and doin the music i love and always wanted to do i mean im jus as guilty as everyone else out there i did hip hop cuz i thought it was

[GrayThaRaven]

@thamescanada genre to make a name in and honestly by the people who as of now are the elite in hip hop i mean come on its a joke but wat ive learned after a year of makin rap and begging for anyone to listen i found people jus wanna hate cuz they think thats the attitude they should have or want to cuz they listen to hip hop but everytime im on a beetles video or cash im amazed theirs intelligent people with actual things to say other than u suck like even if yall dont like the song u give the

[GrayThaRaven]

reason why u disliked in a non demeaning way im shocked lol and i think its just because when listenin the beatles or johnny cash u dont think u have to be the hardest dude alive and blast ur song while whippin everyones ass lol so im def gonna try and step into what i like to call the beggining of rock lol elvis and johnny and jerry lewis were the beggining of a whole different genre of music up until then it was all gospel and they did a new style with class and perfection they didnt hate on

[MrWeealex]

@GiantDoucheNG what the fuck happened to music

[NewGuy2534]

@GiantDoucheNG What happened to music, that's the better question.

[KillaQuansta]

[ObieG93]

Vh1 fuck up the countdown 4 100 greatest songs of the 00"s. Johnny Cash should have been in the top 5 instead he was in #30.

[IcomeIviewIcomment]

you know you're a man when you: shoot down your woman when she annoys you with her womanly ways, travel around getting the law behind you and not giving a damn, use whiskey and cocaine.

Johnny just added that last line to avoid problems with some boy scouts in suits.
