Johnny Cash - Ballad Of The Teenage Queen

[thaaargler]

Great song. Brings back memories of my teen days in the long ago. And my teenage queen who went away. But she never came back to me.

[MrGrandad4]

I absolutely love this song and have since I first heard it in the1950s. I saw that great movie Walk the LIne and was annoyed this song didn't feature. Thank you so much

[Larissa9471]

Eventually she sold all her fame to go back to the boy from the candy store because amid it all she was unhappy without him ~ beautiful.....but..!

[sathina1]

so much better than the shit singers make today !!!

[Tapprincess714]

This is amazingg

[LoveRalphos]

Let me be your teenage queen! =D (en natuurlijk ook de knapste die je ooit hebt gezien :)

[LoveRalphos]

Let me be your teenage queen! =D

[justforfun445]

i've seen a lot of different opinions about johnny cash but please he's the greatest compositor you've ever seen. Beatles or queen could never design a more fantastic piece of music than "Other boys could offer more but she loved the boy next door hwo worked at the candy store"

[evetsgolb]

We were blessed to have his great songs to make life a bit more "agreeable"..They sure don't make them like Johnny,Waylon, Marty Robbins ...anymore do they?

[Tagger24]

@evetsgolb some do, most done =\

[peteballer123]

best old song!!! (:

[bubbah671]

johns smile wow.

[stew771]

[isawman1]

[daSaboriGuitars]

Ps that Capo is shhh shu shu shinny johnnny

[xiiTurboClutchiix]

[thefrisquette]

Who??June was all for him.Without her ,he was lost(and her music too)...

[thefrisquette]

The great great Johnny Cash.....with her marvellous wife,June Carter

[mirr1111]

@thefrisquette u know he had anotha wife who wasnt recognised! what about her??

[tuguybear]

@mirr1111 Well if the movie is to be believed his first wife Vivienne,didn't support his musical ambitions at all.

[thefrisquette]

@mirr1111 :WHO???

[MrClassicrock85]

[elbinar]

[mollymitch1]

A Johnny Cash GREAT this one

[MrZfleming]

Yep, this old WV hill billy lost her when I went in the AF in 1962, but little sisters grow up and we have lived happily since 1966.  Thanks for the memories and posting this when the artist would sing and not scream.

[RodeWolk]

Added to my favorites.

[sophiah88]

When songs told a story and singers could sing,

not scream.

[terrancechristianson]

Johnny Cash he was the man, playin' in a three man band. Every where he played his songs, people waited three blocks long. Just to hear the songs he played, Teenage Queen, and Ira Hayes. Ring of Fire, and Walk the Line, tap your feet, and keepin' time. Johnny Cash he was the man, playin' in a three man band. Every one they knew the songs, Everybody sang along. Flat top box, the Alamo, I knew them all, I loved um so. Johnny Cash he was the man, and now he sings in heavens band.

[thesimpsons07]

One of my favorite songs =)

[mkl62]

The first #1 Country & Western song by "The Man in Black" in the Rock Era. It was the twenty-third #1 C&W song in the Rock Era. Johnny Cash would soon become a breakout star on the Country Music scene.

[petrdetok]

Johnny du warst der beste

[RideMyBMW]

´Mazin tune! Teenage Queen is a killer C&W song. Check out my bros cover... Youtube search: James T Bravo

[Ultramarmac]

me and pop drive around a lot and on his CD he has this song we love it

[TheWhitehall]

The soundtrack sounds like the recorded version.

[SuperUncleMonkey]

No.. Lip Syncing..

[12macz12]

i think ther was a reply,if so what was it

[SabeLoTodox3]

why is he so yellow?

[perfahunter]

@SabeLoTodox3 problably the lights

[eik35]

@SabeLoTodox3 probably the lights, as perfahunter said, or the quality of the clip

[whitmerdude]

There is a version by Rodney Crowell; he may have even done this first, but John does it better.

[keithjas]

@whitmerdude no, Johnny Cash was the first

[whitmerdude]

@keithjas Thanks for the update; makes me feel better to know it was done right the first time. This song gives me goosebumps.

[arkyron1947]

@whitmerdude Johnny recorded this in 1958 way before Rodney Crowell,BTW he's a great singer also. It was on both charts Country and R&R.

[Banjox189]

I remember listening to this while wishing dating this one girl, and ironically she came to me , thank you so much johnny

[coletteconroy]

[692ALBANNACH]

THAT VOICE ?WHAT MORE CAN ANYONE SAY.

[LAPLEOPEREZ]

=cash rulez=

[TheStubbleking]

My dad was a farmer. We'd order parts, they'd come in on the bus. The depot was in an old Café that had a Wurlitzer jukebox in the corner. Dad would give me a dime, I'd play that song. . Thought I was in heaven.

[dakabje]

@TheStubbleking Cool how a not so fasinating story can actually be fasinating :)

( no idea how to spell that :))

[CoronaTheFatCat]

[MetalWarrior86]

Wow that voice is just amazing.

Cash was one of the last REAL musicians

[KhChes]

@MetalWarrior86

Yes, that's true.

[RDKF13]

I sang this song at school, all of my friends said I would bagged for the rest of my life, I sang it....everybody wanted an encore ;) after I sung it.

[fertref]

He sings better and plays the guitar better than on the cd version, I think

[Grifiki]

The Cash Man. Dont take your guns to Town Son! I walk the Line! Supper Time! all for Sun Records in 1959??? Elvis???

Same label

[Grifiki]

The very first song I ever heard cash sing. June 1959. Then I bought an LP. All his old "Sun Recordings" Six feet high and rising. The Indian? etc...

[sephiekun1]

you should put the lyrics in

[heartshatteringcutie]

hehe i love this song :D

[19960215]

I love the boy next door working at the candy store too. Well, it's not EXACTLY next door, but it's close, it's not EXACTLY a candy store, but they have candies :-], I'm not EXACTLY a teenage QUEEN, but I'll be, soon, I know it, and I don't EXACTLY love him,, but still...

[19960215]

Dream on, dream on, teenage queen 8->

[divemtr]

This one of my first record purchases as a youth..still love it

[LaVerne37]

I found this gem at the neighborhood Woolworth's...I walked all the way home to get enough money to purchase the record...and all the way back...I just loved/love this classic gem!!! Many thanks for posting...

[HE88LO]

You Know I have never heard a bad Johnny Cash Song. This one has to be one of my all time favorites.

[ApocalypseKurtz]

This song is so addicting

[xxravenxx411]

I love it!!! <3

[Skibby2304]

Agree for sure. This is a really amazing song. He is a fantastic artist.

[FinalGamerJames]

This is my favourite Johnny Cash song ever.

[215jami]

Its only fitting  that my typing isnt that great nether was My driving when we stole a jeep to go visit the boy that was in love with the teenage queen ,Dong Ha 67

[215jami]

I was in foxhole in 66 and the man I was with told me about the Teen Age Queen from Scotsbluff Neb. His name was Bill and he was all Marine and in love with the Teen Age Queen.

[dragonslayer101010]

he looks great

[w00tbeerisgood]

i got jizz in my pants

[goddessswarrior]

I think this is the best version of this song. Look at how happy Cash is!! I was in love with that girl incidentally

[XlightassassenX]

he's happy. he's yellow and he's in love what else does he need? hey i also love the girl described in the song, take away the candy store and you have it (:

[gerryotta]

A great hit. I have a fine version of this song with Johnny Cash, Jun Carter Cash and The Everly Brothers. Also a fantastic version of this song.

[rafhenlow]

So have I. On a comp. cd. I think. Good version.

[didsburyduck]

Brilliant, clever, unique composition, and one of Cash's finest recordings. So lightweight and yet so beautifully crafted. Reputed to be Mick Jagger's favourite song and recording. Why isn't it universally known? Make it the backing track of a commercial ad, someone!

[GunnerySgtHardman]

Hey ladies, you you like my alternate lyrics for the final part of the song? Here it is gentlemen:

"Then one day the teenage tard

started eating the candy n lard.

Gave up all her botox and fame

Left it all and became as fat as a train (Fat as a train)

Do I have to tell you more

She became an ugly whore, for the boy next door who worked - at the candy store"

[Bananflue]

I love this song!

[DooWopluver]

This song is what music should be about. Love between a man and a woman. The ending makes this one of the best songs from the past.

Thanks for posting it.

[LaVerne37]

100% AGREEMENT...I wore this record out!!!

Wayne in Texas....I'll be at the candy store!

[BigOldScout]

This is truly one of the greatest songs Johnny Cash wrote.

[CashPresley32]

It was not written by Johnny, it was written by Jack Clement.

[w00tbeerisgood]

Hearing his voice on radio or itunes or youtube, it can bring tears to your eyes thinking he passed away. :_(

[violetkate20]

LOVE IT!

[Rooskmyster]

This is my fave song. My dad sang me this song b4 he passed

[DingusStudley]

That's good that he sang it to you before he passed. It'd be pretty creepy if he sang it to you after.

[c4shFan]

more and more ppl should be into johnnycash -_- oh well JohnnyCash Fans FOREVER!!!! =)

[CashPresley32]

You can say that again. I love Johnny Cash's music and always will, but don't forget four others, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison.

[CashPresley32]

I am way into Johnny Cash.

[packingten]

MY HERO!!! I Loved Johnny Cash, I played his Records when I was 5 or 6 over and over one of his biggest fans... RIP Johnny& June

[countryrules64]

The Man in Black does it again.

[CoronaTheFatCat]

"Other boys could offer more, but she loved the boy next door, who worked at the candy store."

[ARTOFAX92]

Johnny cash doesn´t have a song who is the best all is the best.!!!!!!!

[LaVerne37]

And thank God we have Johnny doing this live...it doesn't get any better than this!!!

Wayne in Texas....dream on, dream on....

[fatcatbuzz]

I like how they use to mic the acoustic guitars back then. It made them sound more real than the plug ins that so many people use to day. Only a couple of times do I see an acoustic guitar miked these days which is sad because I like the punch of a miked acoustic.

[mrsnyder99]

one of his most underrated songs, by far.

[valverdista]

God must be... Johnny Cash.

[HenryFonda1988]

he died september 12, 2003... i don't know when this record with rosanne was made. she also cut tennessee flat top box

[RideMyBMW]

Love Cash`s Christmas Specials. Great job dude! BTW, check out my cousin`s version of "Teenage Queen" (youtube search) : "James T. Bravo"

[kozmocramer24]

he also dose this with a woman can't remember your name but thats the one without the back up singers and this on is a bit faster to.go johnny R.I.P

[HenryFonda1988]

he did it with his daughter, rosanne, on the 2005 album "the legedary"...

is this the one you were talking about?

[kozmocramer24]

yeah but he died in 2004 and the song was mage way before then i know he did one with her but it's not this one and she was into that punk shit aswell what a crap move that was

[leeperryismerry]

he died 12th September 2003

[JohnnyCashFan11]

I Like This Version Of This Song The Backing Singers Are Great, But There Is Different Versions Without Them I Believe.

[LaVerne37]

I'm glad he didn't abandon this cross-over hit...it is a wonderful video....THANKS for posting....he looks great and sounds great....great backup singers.....do I have to tell you more? EXCELLENT!!!

[zaaritha]

So good, but there is another version wich also is great!

[lottopluslotto]

who cares..

[saintvulcan]

who cares if you dont care, if you dont care dont post snide comments about a legend people have a right to be curious, thats how come we have the internet anyway because people were curious about certain things ......so suck it dueche

[promagnum]

Has he slept at all?

[rhpositive2002]

He didn't sleep at all in the movie.

[colorak]

i heard that song back in 1958 by cash

[BigOldScout]

That is the first Johnny Cash Song I remember listening too. I thought it was cool then and it is great now. The Best was when he sang that with many other great songs at my home towns county fair back in '84
