Delightful. Song was written by Johnny’s friend, the poet Shel Silverstein. This is first record I ever got, my dad drove me to the record store when it came out. I was not yet 5. I still have it even if Johnny and my dad have passed on. Thanks, guys Ps - meeting Cash and being hugged by him felt like being touched by the hand of God. Definitely a highlight in a life well lived,

This is Johnny Cash's biggest country crossover hit ever!!! It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country chart back in 1969.

Johnny Cash touched so many lives. He was friends with Elvis all the way to Bono from U2. He was deeply close to the Lord. That's what all three of the men mentioned above had in common. Peace

Please listen to Cash’s The Ballad of Ira Hayes. Another story song, but with a message.

My mother-in-law named my hubby Christy because she thought Christopher would be too hard for him to learn to spell. His dad was a military man, so the family moved every two to three years. Everyone always called my hubby Chris, but at each new school the teacher would call him Christy on the first day. Guess what? He learned to fight because the kids made fun of him. He's always said that he was a Boy Named Sue.

You guys are fun to watch! This one could be as big as IN THE AIR TONIGHT! Love y’all!

Johnny Cash , LEGEND ♥️

I was 3 in 1969. My parents played this album a lot during my childhood but I haven't heard it in decades until today. My husband and I got married in mid July, 28 years ago and we just returned from our anniversary trip to Gatlinburg Tennessee. For the first time in my life I heard the line "it was Gatlinburg in mid July". Funny how words written 50+ years ago can hit a familiar key at just the right time.

One of my favorites from this legend.

Gotta hear Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues song

Johnny Cash was my neighbor back in the 60’s in a small town here near Ojai California 👍🏽 One of a kind The house is still there and they filmed inside of it when they produced the Movie called Walk The Line about the life of Johnny Cash. He also owned a small mobile home park that was called Johnny Cash’s Trailer Court nearby.. He loved Jamaica and bought land there later on..

I am so glad you both listened to the story! That's what makes his songs so fantastic.

I love watching you guys.

Love your reaction can relate when I first heard. Again, thanks mom for raising children in NYC and never putting boundaries on music!

If you want storytelling, How about "Dr Hook"? Maybe "I got stoned and I missed it" or "Sylvia's Mother". Lots of 70's gold there.

Haven't seen you guy's for a while, great to see you again all the best from Australia boy's Johnny Cash legend.

This is the absolute best reaction to this song that I’ve seen… You made my day
