@jdubbsmonkeynutts Pardon me if I gave you that impression.
I only recently realised that I dislike Johnny Cash songs.

And one more thing: You seem to be rather free eh? To even make a fuss of a simple comment that I made. Maybe you should I don't know, get something worthwhile to do?
I am being very understanding of your haste to make my comment into such a big issue. I can understand. Everyone has it sometimes when you just have too much time on your hands.

How does the singer know...? Its a song! He knows because he wrote the lyrics! This isn't a true events opinion work, its from Johnny Cash's "Murder" album, filled with songs themed accordingly in the set "Love - God - Murder".
Your position is absurd, the facts of the story are fanciful. How can you be so naive as to believe this is a narrative of actual events to which the singer had special insight or was privy to additional facts?

but this shooting wasn't his.
There is sb one else that goes scot-free.
How does the singer know that he actually did the killing then?
He should have been called on trial for that particular killing at the age of ten then.

trap door dropping and his neck snapping.

Are you kidding? Did you hear the words? The song is about a man who had killed countless people... He gets what's coming to him, and his alibi for the murder he was convicted for was that he was robbing a train and its passengers! Express lane this sonofabitch! The song is a bit of irony, its a tragic comedy, not a sad song. Civil society need not cry for the bad man.
I prefer the "Live at Folsom Prison" version. By a long shot. But, this is cool too.

The "Live at Folsom" version is very good, but he was cut off at the end by the applause from the inmates. Although, I am sure the sound of the trapdoor and the snapping sounds would not have been in that version anyway ;)

I wonder if there was ever a more "disturbing" end to a song than this one. Mr Cash was really a badass if he wanted to be :)
