Cash admitted that've didn't know he couldn't just change up a song and make it his own. He didn't know music law then. But he sure learned. Lol
He still did a great job and I give these guys kudos for their work too!

Cash paid Gordon Jenkins a settlement of approximately $75,000 in th early 1970s, as thank´s for the coffee.

@koosmal So sad! I have the same album. Even my mother enjoyed it in her youth. The "haves" can steal anything they want. My fiance' still refuses to see that this song was stolen from the Gordon Jenkins album!!
-
@Grungadin A-Bite me. B-Even though Johnny Cash did a great job of stealing this song, it was stolen--so shut up!!
-
no one can say either dong is better or worse then one another its just two diff takes on the same song

@Grungadin Your guess would be wrong concerning Gordon Jenkins. He was one of the greatest orchestra arrangers in the history of pop music. He was in the background creating the arrangements for stars like Nat Cole, Peggy Lee and the Weavers. His career had slowed down by the 60s, but he did manage to arrange this great Grammy Award winning performance by Frank Sinatra, which was performed live by Sinatra and the band. Look up IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR by Frank Sinatra right here on Youtube

@bigzach1000 You can't copyright a chord progression. Most country and rock songs are comprised of 3 or 4 chords. Folsom is just 3 chords. Melodies that are similar are not the same. If a song has the same melody, it's considered copyright infringement. For example, YOU'RE THE REASON GOD MADE OKLAHOMA stole the melody line from ROCKY TOP by Boudleaux Bryant, and was judged so in a court. SURFING USA by the Beachboys was found guilty of stealing Chuck Berry's SWEET LITTLE SIXTEEN.

Who doesn't? And who's seriously going to say this song is better than "Folsom Prison Blues"?

Perhaps this song was good for the time, but Johnny's is a classic, and deserving of the word timeless.
I agree Johnny isn't on top of his singing in all of his songs, but listen to The Wanderer or I Still Miss Someone.
Not to mention this woman probably didn't write the lyrics, and definitely didn't write the music since she was in a band it seems.
I don't find this horrible, but it sure as hell isn't anywhere near Johnny Cash's level.
Crappy is an overstatement, but I dislike it.
