  • i love this song it so sad

  • AMEN! +++

  • Help the weak, the underdog, get them up, only to have them, spit in you eye, when there boss, but that's me, I figured he would, & will do it again, for you reap what you sow, & I am happy here?

  • Yeah!! Too cool man!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

  • and Johnny is certainly still wearing black.

  • Love this song

  • Merci!

  • 1.44 sends a shiver up my back

  • 0 people have bad taste!

  • Johnny Cash was way ahead of his time. He sings: “I wear black for the prisoner who has long served his time but he is there because he is a victim of the time” Can you think of any crimes that the media has blown out of proportion and caused a witch-hunt over? I certainly can. America is a classic police state.  Love you Cash!!!!

  • an interview with johnny....

    Q: do you find it difficult to be the voice of your generation?J.C.: i dont think i am. there is a desire among people, especially young people to know that they are heard. a collective voice will always be louder than any single voice. still, if they want me out in front, then i'm happy to do it. that kind of trust...that kind of faith is humbling...and at the same time invigorating. there is nothing more sacred than trust. that is the ultimate validation...trust.

  • He performed this song on national TV at the height of the Vietnam War, which makes hime even more of a badass that he already was. Nowdays we don't have anyone even close to the man he was

  • Powerful stuff.  Look at his eyes .

  • somebody upload the one bad pig version of this song, please! It rules!

  • I used to wear black. I wear gray now.

  • words cant decribe this man or these lyrics. Brilliant and sad.

  • God Bless you! I remember my step dad listening to Johnny ash in the washroom on a tiny pathetic record player...the good old days

  • rozzie101 yea how fuckn old are u then? cause johnny cash was always cool

  • I like Johnny Cash, before it was kool to like him...

  • Johnny R.I.P. 12-9-2010, Seven years wihtout Johnny Cash.

  • @zatarain22 what

  • EPIC AND A CLASSIC

  • My car broke down yesterday and I had to be towed home. The gentleman was playing old Johnny Cash songs from when I was a child. Here I was wishing I had the means for a new bright shiny car. But God was speaking to me through this song. Jesus was crucified for the men (and women) in black. We should pick up our cross and follow Him!

  • "Johnny was the Northern Star...you could guide your ship by his light."-Dylan.

    Happy Birthday to the immortal JC.

  • I only wear black too

  • vielan dank johnny für alle deine großartigen lieder from germany^^

  • Grazie Johnny!!

    from italy

  • We don't give a dam about the poor in the USA. We just idealize the wealthy and celebrity. This is ironic because Jesus said it was the poor who were the closest to got

  • @mftebo god is yourself. they are closer to themselves. they have nothing in the material world to distract them from being one with God/Themselves. We are god.

  • @Briandaley - New age Propaganda...

  • @mftebo

    got?

  • Great video - thanks for putting that up. Love this song.

    Just a shame the bit just before the song is not included - Cash was reading autocue/lyric cards as he had just finished writing the song that morning.

  • I saw a documentary with videos of Johnny taken during the 50's and 60's. Now people may say. yes he was addicted to drugs. But wow what a guy he seems to have been. He seemed so humble, so caring about the wider world and also so intelligent when considering his opinions on the world. he also seemed to love his family deeply always with his wife and kids and always asking his father about times past. A very good man by what i could see.

  • one of the best songs written in my opinion, irreplaceable, never forgotten J.R.

  • i guess someone needs to take the man in black's place

  • No one will ever take his place, but Steve Earle has picked up the baton and carries it well.

  • let me be the first to comment on this great video.
