ironic this was the last sonng he recorded,the producer said he asked for this to be the last song he recorded,he did a version in the late 50's i think but his voice got so narly and cracked it just suits his choice of song
What he can emote with a song... Jimmie Rodgers song. Even the original was touching. He's free from the chain gang because hes dead was one surmise I had.
I started listening to country because of Johnny Cash, and he's a modern-day rebel-saint as far as I'm concerned, but I have to admit, I like Jimmie Rodgers lively version (the original?) waaaay better. This feels... a little cheesy?
I like Johnny's version but the first record I remember dropping the needle on where my dads Jimmie Rodgers albums. His music is actually part of me, my first memories. I'm a dork I know.

No, this is actually a song from his childhood, it was originally recorded by his favorite, Jimmie Rodgers.
I love Jommie Rodgers also. My dad had all his albums the 1st memories I have are dropping the needle down on those records.

The version that you're thinking of that he did prior to this one was in 1962.
This is the song that I would like to be playing as they spread my ashes/lower my casket.
I will have this song played on my funeral
