Goddamon I always though CCR were the creators of this song.....Jhonny Cash you are my idol what a bunch of songs that you gave to the world..your legacy is forever...
it's actually originally by lead belly, but the beach boys covered it and made it their own, along with ccr and plenty of other bands/blues fans in the 60's and 70's. great song to work with.
I like CCR's version, and the Beach Boys version, and the Kingston Trio's version. The difference is, of all the people mentioned, only two of them actually ever bent over in 100F sun and picked a d*mned bale of cotton: Leadbelly and JR Cash!
same here but i am 13 now i have to drive tractors everyday when i get home heror fields for the cotton,corn and penuts so here its back in them old mainly cotton fields back home.
Hello, I spent a long time looking for this song by Cash, today i get it, this is a big day for me. I first heard it in 1988, I never forget that year.
It all comes back to Johnny Cash -- a true artist. He made country music enjoyable for millions of people.

95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again.
If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos.
Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die!

Not to take anything away Mr. Ledbetter, but Johnny Cash's version is my favorite. Has the most soul.
