Kristofferson doesn't often sing these old traditional songs. A pity, his voice is beautifully suited to them--wonderful that Cash had him join in this one

There is an interesting story about how Johnny and Kris met so many years ago. As the story goes, Kris had been a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and had a song he wanted Johnny to hear, so he rented a helicopter and landed it in Johnny's back yard. Kris got a gig, and they became lifelong friends, but also friends with Waylon, Willie, Dolly, etc, etc

Kris was indeed a helicopter pilot, but in the National Guard.............he never served in Vietnam/

They were not young anymore but their voices seem to be even better...if possible! And Johnny Cash is just amazing in this scene: white hair, golden voice and his unique way to make us feel every word. Thank you for this!

Hard to believe that JC was gone just 10yrs later, his body ravaged by illness. He looks well here, strong and healthy. RIP 🙏

Kris is one of the most gracious and generous musicians ever. Such a talent and always willing to play second fiddle without sacrificing an ounce of passion. This is a blessing to have heard again today.

Super talent. I'll think of this concert when I'm in Ireland this summer.

Two great american voices.

Timbre de voz único!

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me

I was waitin for Kris to start wailin on his harp, but alas I'll just have to wail on my own harp as I perform this song tonight on Broadway Street, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. It took me a long time until I finally heard this song, and ever since it remains for me as one of my all time favorites

I always liked the Dave Matthews version of this as well. Showed that to my grandpa one time a few years ago and he looked like he was going to vomit during it. I wasn't surprise since he loves Johnny Cash so much and hearing anyone else sing that is like his blasphemy.

I think this was around this time that Bono asked Cash to sing "The Wanderer" for the Zooropa album. It was the start of Cash's great resurrection. Soon after this, he met with Rick Rubin and the rest is history.

I'm not a big Cash fan, but this is a pretty good version of one of my favorite songs. Kris adds a lot to it. One other thing, to suggest that this a Cash song, is heresy, Lefty Frizzell owns this song, no one touches him on it.

yes, this is not a Cash song. But not a Lefty Frizzell song either. As far as I know it was written by Marijohn Wilkin, the one who also wrote the beautiful One day at a time 😊 Have just googled, Danny Dill co-wrote it. She even wrote an answer song - that was new to me kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWqemtqjfbmWoJM.html

I am with you Charles. Cash wrote very few of his hits and did a lot of covers. I think he is one of the most over-rated country stars ever. Merle Haggard was in a completely different category than Cash. And Lefty does own this song.

@@marccohen4571 Absolutely atrocious statement. He might not be in your top five country artists and that’s fine but he is an outlaw legend. Him and a select few redefined country. Very stupid statement.

I love these guys/Highwaymen, but its not the best version of an old Irish tune.

nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me

Of course i'm not d\so honourably stupid (or would one say stupidly honourable?) I would have told the judge I was in the arms of my best friend's wife. Might have lost a lover and a best friend, but the lady in the long black veil would not have to roam around missing her sleep. ;) It was quite likely that the slayer was the woman's husband, knowing he'd get away with his crime, counting on the guilty behaviour of his wife and best friend.

@Mightymole he is thin here because just before this his jaw had been wired shut from one of the many surgeries he had where they tried to fix his broken jaw and the associated nerve problem in his jaw - he lost a lot of weight during this time as he could only take in liquids. Also, Johnny Cash did not have Graves Disease - if you do your research you will find out that he was finally diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (after being previously misdiagnosed with both Shy Draeger Syndrome and Parkinsons) and he was diabetic- he died from complications resulting from his diabetes.

John Carter…
