No, ALLRacingfan is right! Kris wrote this song and continued to play it himself. Check your fax. Long Black Veil is also another cover song. Love Johnny for the great songs he left behind
Just found out....The original version of the song was recorded by Ray Stevens in 1969 and became his first country chart hit reaching #55 on the country charts and #81 on the pop Top 100. A cover of it by country legend Johnny Cash gained great popularity, garnering the Country Music Association Award for "Song of the Year" in 1970. Johnny Cash's version was titled "Sunday Morning Coming Down".
"He only sang what was wrote for him, even if it it had to be recorded before it came to his attention. " That's what a cover is. If someone did the song before him it IS a cover.
I'm a huge country music fan, especially classic ones and Johnny Cash. Sunday Morning Coming Down has always been one of my all time favorites. I believe Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar. I love Johnny Cash, and he sang this same song in an episode of "Columbo." Nobody can sing like Cash, and I do mean NOBODY!
@TheBadBandana Hurt is a Nine Inch Nails cover... Fail!!

Wrong. Kris wrote this song for Johnny to sing. He eventually recorded it himself as well, but it was written FOR John and he was first to record it.

Johny never "covered" anything. He only sang what was wrote for him, even if it it had to be recorded before it came to his attention.
