[gibbycelti]

johnny cash kills this beautifull song, he cant sing, and he didnt right it, its an old irish song

[DerekMoncur]

@gibbycelti

For someone who can't sing seems like he sold a hell of a lot of records.

[RachelCoolings]

@gibbycelti He did not kill this song and yes he did too write it. The people that say he didn't are generally ignorant assholes....hmmmm...what's that make you?

[12horace12]

@RachelCoolings I am sorry u are correct, He did write this song

Looks like Johnny Cash wrote it in the 1960s after a visit to Ireland. Cannot find any indication of it prior to the Cash copyright. Checked several compendia of Irish songs .The expression, "forty shades of green" is much older.A couple of websites call it traditional.

[RocklandMaine]

Johnny Cash wrote and sings Forty Shades of Green !!!

[12horace12]

@RocklandMaine My God, Do all you people not know that this is an OLD Irish song. Great as Johnny Cash is, he never wrote this song.

[timalloybhoy]

Rain, Hail or Shine...Ireland, north & south just the same, a quite marvellous place to be.

[JaCk123tOiBiN]

the realtiy is that its raining half of the time and good weather as shown in this is hard to come by.

[ellecto]

Haha. So true. I was in Galway not long ago and experienced this. Still loved it though. The weather's very much like Devon, where I come from.

[JoeCamelCigg]

A wonderful song! Johnny Cash could really write lyrics. What a amazing man!

[cuppalele]

god this is a beautiful song matched to a beautiful country:)

[lumars42]

this song is beautiful...this is in my dads memory...no matter what Irish pub I go to in the world..i request this song xx

[lisburncowboy]

It is very touching that JC penned these beautiful words about our lovely country. Probably his childhood days spent on a farm helped him to appreciate Ireland's rugged landscape. Johnny's wonderful talent for songwriting and his inimitable voice are a wonderful legacy for those who, like myself, are lovers of country music.

[kevinwhorgan]

its class alright!d'ya know,i first heard of this song in a book called-scots irish,born fighting by an american senator called jim webb.its a decent read

[louisalit]

Imagine the American Johnny Cash made this! It sounds very genuine Irish, doesn't it? Beautiful

[RianOshea]

uhhmmm...its cuz Johnny Cash is the master! He rules! Hes like an American Ronnie Drew.

[drsprudel]

[Ellindur90]

Beautiful song, and the landscape is not so different from the Faroe Island where I live.
