[johndeereman2009]

Great song my grandma has this song on record

[GavDuggan1983]

Rubbish, anyone who knows anything about music or Cash knows that he didnt write those songs but that he did do amazing covers of them and make them his own. Also Cash wrote many great and standard country songs.

[Hoboscouts]

Randy Newman wrote this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please give him credit and dont act like Johnny wrote it.

[1footonthedawn]

Kicked Mama down the stairs!? I must misunderstand something; this cannot be right.

[ENACODNOM]

Randy Newman is the author of the song.

[williamlander]

Stephen Collin Foster Wrote The Original

Randy Newman's version is a pretty good version, but I think Three Dog Night's performance is better.

[arevamirpal]

I agree. Been looking for Three Dog Night's version here but can't find.

covington kentucky, heading back to berea soon. I love this state. She's home.

[RonFelix]

highwayman012...Obviously you didn't bother to read my note, I said this version of the song was written by Randy Newman. I realize the original song was writtern before the turn of the 20th century, but this is NOT the original version. Read the notes before you engage your mouth.

[evsxrk]

Hey polite guy, while it's true that this song is heavily influenced by the Stephen Foster original, it's still a different song with different lyrics and a different melody. So it's incorrect to say Stephen Foster wrote it. As the other guy said, this particular song was written by Randy Newman. Johnny Cash didn't write it, but his is the best version I've heard (Three Dog Night, best known for their cover of Newman's "Mama Told Me Not To Come", also recorded it).

[RonFelix]

This version of the song was written and first sang by Randy Newman, Chris Smither also recorded the song, it's my favorite version of it. But Newman wrote it.

[highwayman012]

Wrong, Stephen Foster wrote it. He also wrote Camptown Races. I think he wrote it in the late 1800,s? Not too sure

[Hughie521324K]

this is randy newmans ADAPTATION of the stephen foster song..

which means randy newman wrote the lyrics and stephen foster composed the music

[SuperheroChuck]

Actually, no. Randy Newman wrote the verses ("turpentine and dandelion wine" etc.), and used, as the refrain, a section of the original song by Stephen Foster.

[QueenLane78]

I am with you all! Proud Kentuckian, tried and true. Born and raised in Elizabethtown, Kentucky! Nothing like the Bluegrass State!

[ElvisStillRules]

Nope. Stephen Foster.

[GothPrincessLolipop]

rare....lemme tell ya!

[carth23]

Where can i download this song. I've looked everywhere. I know its from the John R. Cash LP, but there doesn't seem to be a place to get this version. Thinks for the help

[VfB1900Giessen]

Best way is to search ebay for the record. I searched from Germany and found one in the U.S., no problem.

[Ermengarde11]

Now this is one you don't hear often! RIP Johnny and June.

im related the stephen collins foster

[chuckcuts]

I always thought Randy Newman was behind the newly founded version of this old classic. Three Dog Night does a mildly impressive version as well.

[highwayman012]

Amazing

[musicalmayhem91]

i would like to correct you all and let you know that this song was written by stephen foster in the 1800's

[Ermengarde11]

Same composer as "I Dream Of Jeannie", an American treasure Foster is.

[loveswednesday]

love it, but does anybody know of any good versions of the original?

[oldfolkiepad]

Prettiest version of the original Stephen Foster song I ever heard was sung by Paul Robeson. I have it on a "Greatest Hits" tape somewhere, but I've mislaid it. A Google search would probably yield some details of the recording. There's also a lovely rendition of the song by John Prine on the album "Beautiful Dreamer - the songs of Stephen Foster" issued by American Roots Publishing in 2004. Serial number 591 594-2. Hope you can track down at least one of them!

[Appalachiaman]

I've heard the John Prine recording and it is absolutely beautiful! Probably my favorite rendition of the song.

[oldfolkiepad]

Glad you tracked it down and so enjoyed it. I like pretty much everything I've heard John Prine do. He's written some good songs, too, like "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness".

[hearthathmelted]

Johnny Cash didn't write this song. It's been around for over a century. Check out all the versions on youtube by just searching the song title. It's pretty cool.

[VideoGameNerd777]

I know he didn't write it. Stephen Foster did. Johnny Cash changed some words and the tune of the song, however.

[dcarr11]

Johnny Cash didn't write this version either. It's also played by the Beau Brummels on their album 'Triangle' which came out in '67. That's the earliest performance of this version that I know of, but I don't think the Beau Brummels wrote it. Randy Newman also played this version, but that came out in 1970.

[JacquesBrel11]

Randy Newman wrote it

[kayneburgon]

I like this song!!

[liamtia]

its from the j r cash album

[stoatyboy]

yeah, this is a randy newman song. Love Johnny Cash though!

[benplaut]

This isn't Cash, it's written by Randy Newman.

[Armstrong112]

This is from the John R. Cash album from 1975

[uglymoon78]

Quite a burlesque and colorful song, for sure! Is it from the "Junkie, Juicehead minus me" album?

[VideoGameNerd777]

I don't know.
