@lmacca98 I like Rodger's version too (don't let's get into a pissing match, k?) but Johnny Cash does give it a touch of.... perhaps thoughtfulness.... Rodgers sings it a touch too cheerfully for a song in which the subject of the song dies. The bleakness is part of what makes the song special: "and the best that you can hope for / is to die in your sleep." True, but who wants to admit it?
@purpsmaster actually this song was pitched to Cash first he recorded it but but then they had Kenny do it I can't remember exactly why it was in Marshall's Book
hung my head, hurt, bridge over troubled water and when the man comes around are my favorite cash songs..and give my love to rose..and cocaine blues..i love them all realy haha
I always randomly sing this song. I've sang it so much, my brother always tells me to stop, because it's getting annoying. but I don't stop <3 I love this song.
It seems there is some life-long wisdom in every Johnny Cash song...
