Cracked voice, hurting and old, this man moves me. And I am not a country music fan, but Johnny Cash carries the world and the essence of life in his being.
I wonder if, when Ian Tyson wrote this song, he knew it would become one of the greatest songs of all time. And nobody does it better than Johnny Cash, the perfect voice and soul for a masterpiece such as this.
Ian Tyson said he wrote this song in twenty minutes after he and the love of his life separated. Although many have covered this, no one did it better than Johnny Cash. RIP Mr. Cash and Mr. Tyson. I like to think of ya'll adding your voices to the Heavenly Choir.
Bless Johnny for giving all of us such a journey of music. My first 45: "Sunday Morning Coming Down" My second 45: "Man in Black".... He haunts me in ways I can't express, and that is good.
Love the way he delivers a condemed, though simplistic resolution to the lyrics of this classic. If you don't 'get' Johnny Cash you got a hole in your soul..RIP
To those who argue in the presence of this performance - show some respect and listen to the music. Wanna fight? Meet each other in the street. Johnny Cash deserves a better audience. Thanks for your trouble in posting this music, acashfan1. You deserve a better audience, too.
Possibly this version of this song sung by Cash one of my top three ever best songs have heard in my life. Aine 💕💕💕💕💕 Am crying just now. It’s THAT good.
Oh My God.... How wonderful is this... wherever you are Sir thank you for invaluable contribution to my musical taste.... You should now be teaching the angels how to sing. Your life was worth every single day on this earth.
Terry Murphy he actually has a song from the early 60s called "the girl in saskatoon ". If that ain't cool enough for a Canadian connection i don't know what is. Other than the fact he fished many times in La Ronge and some other northern lakes too
Great artist ... so many beautifull songs from him as this one Why isn't he better known in Europe and that media do not talk about him ? Amazing how it looks so easy for him , so pure , so deep in feelings . We miss you John as we miss your wife June
WUMB's Dave Palatier said this is one of the great contemporary folk songs. He's right. Until I heard this today, my fav version was by the Chad Mitchell Trio. I dislike love songs but this one and Dylan's "Lay, Lady, Lay" are my favs. I love this because the narrator recognizes the hopelessness of the situation because he knows himself and the woman so well. The dying Johnny Cash gives the song the emotional grounding it deserves. I regret that I never saw Cash perform live.
I have been a huge Ian Tyson and Johnny Cash song for years. Nice to hear their work come together like this. Just Johnny's voice and some simple accompaniment..very nice!
I have heard John Denver sing this in the early 70's. It sounds beautiful with Johnny's voice of time added to it. The photos are such a wonderful walk down memory lane. Thanks for creating this for us to enjoy...so much appreciated!
i've loved this song (johnny's version) since the first time i heard it. the pictures you've added make it even more touching. you can hear in his voice he was getting on a bit but i love this stage in his career as you said his voice was very pure.
His voice is very pure, it is honest, true, and pure. Unless your blind or deaf....I'd agree, but if you are neither then you are wrong. Too many people don't know the REAL Johnny Cash.
This is a great song and video. It is without a doubt one of the best videos I have seen with Johnny Cash. Kinda showed John & June from the start to the end. I reposted it on my facebook site. Everyone loved it. I would love to see more videos like this. With the pics showing his life like this one did.Thank you for posting this. God bless the Cash family.
Johnny's songs toward the end gradually were not country music any more. I can feel a new style of music was born. Those in music art should develop what Johnny Cash left for us, a new and beautiful style of music. Johnny's music will never die.
Do you ever know when to just keep your shut and respect the music legends. Johnny Cash is the most talented singer of all time. My favorite singer, and I will not allow you to insult him like that. Thank you very much. You should be very ashamed of yourself for saying something like that. I am disappointed in you for saying that. So would a lot of people.
Well done! Wonderful collection of photos. I've always loved this great Ian Tyson song and John's version is amazing (considering his physical condition in 2003). Thanks.
They were good real people- ever run into people like this you know they have felt those winds that chilled their souls- but their souls rest now in God's warm heart-have a good life yall and dont worry bout tomorrow- enjoy today and always have plenty of firewood nearby-
its said that this was the very first song that Ian Tyson ever wrote. Quite a debut. Johnny really captures the essence and emotion embedded in the song.
Cracked voice, hurting and old, this man moves me. And I am not a country music fan, but Johnny Cash carries the world and the essence of life in his being.
Beautiful song love u Johnny

Well, Maybe The Four Brothers
Neil Young?
He left this world
But never left our hearts
His songs will live in our hearts till the end
Rest in peace legend 🙏
So beautiful. How can 5 people dislike this? Thanks Johnny. RIP.
Johnny Cash had a passion, and he was able to die doing what he loved. I wish we could all be lucky enough to do that. RIP Johnny Cash.

how dare anyone dislike johnny cash he is the best singer song witer dad and husband ever
Heartbreaking. Beautiful. It's like he's saying "goodbye" to all of us. Thank you.
So many undiscovered Cash songs that send me to a dark yet beautiful place in my mind full of reminiscence.
+dazmanshears Not his song but he sure makes it his own .
Was this song from his last album?
Ian and Sylvias version is far better than Neil Youngs
Nic Lawson - Ian Tyson wrote it.

Bless Johnny for giving all of us such a journey of music.
My first 45: "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
My second 45: "Man in Black"....
He haunts me in ways I can't express, and that is good.
Do you still keep them ? Fantastic memories! Greetings CD
I like Johnny's singing most during his final years. Poignant.
i have never heard this song sung so tenderly as this.....love ya johnny
For me Bobby Bare nailed it - but it was the 1rst cover I heard anyway and that always kind of "sticks", if you know what I mean ;-)
even old, weathered, sick, and dying, he's beautiful
Love the way he delivers a condemed, though simplistic resolution to the lyrics of this classic.
If you don't 'get' Johnny Cash you got a hole in your soul..RIP
I miss him since 2003 !

Thanks for your trouble in posting this music, acashfan1. You deserve a better audience, too.
THis is one unique artist......been listening to him for over 30 years.
I hope, You rest in peace, Old Johnny. And Your songs go with me until my days will end. Thanks for all. Dirk fron Germany
John R CASH owns this song on so many levels. Thank you John R CASH! /CD
Wonderful photo collection.
Possibly this version of this song sung by Cash one of my top three ever best songs have heard in my life. Aine 💕💕💕💕💕 Am crying just now. It’s THAT good.
fills my eyes with tears... great version!
Oh My God.... How wonderful is this... wherever you are Sir thank you for invaluable contribution to my musical taste.... You should now be teaching the angels how to sing. Your life was worth every single day on this earth.
Listen to this song for 35 yrs before Johnny did it he really makes it his own cool he did a Canadian tune .
Terry Murphy he actually has a song from the early 60s called "the girl in saskatoon ". If that ain't cool enough for a Canadian connection i don't know what is. Other than the fact he fished many times in La Ronge and some other northern lakes too
The voice,, The ballad,, the ole pleasure an pain,, what magic thanks mate,, ya know what I mean,,,
Great artist ... so many beautifull songs from him as this one
Why isn't he better known in Europe and that media do not talk about him ?
Amazing how it looks so easy for him , so pure , so deep in feelings . We miss you John as we miss your wife June

He was the best ever!!!
RIP Johnny & June
Sure he was and still is. John R CASH!!! /CD
ya know ..when i am down ,,I just listen to Mr Cash ,,the man lifts me ,, its thats simple,, God bless You Mr Cash,,,,
Great version of Ian & Sylvia hit from 1963,a Neil Young favorite!
I have been a huge Ian Tyson and Johnny Cash song for years. Nice to hear their work come together like this. Just Johnny's voice and some simple accompaniment..very nice!
A man.A guitarr, A song.
This can surely bring the tears and pain. Sing on John.
still obcessed with him. johnny is the truth
Simple perfection of song and inimitable voice. No more needed. Just the guitar would have been sufficient accompaniment, but still perfect.
I have known this song for over 40 years. Bobby Bare brought it to the country music world. I love Ian's version too, but Johnny Cash nailed this one.
you are always in our mind.R.I.P.,you and June.
I have heard John Denver sing this in the early 70's. It sounds beautiful with Johnny's voice of time added to it. The photos are such a wonderful walk down memory lane. Thanks for creating this for us to enjoy...so much appreciated!
RIP Ian Tyson 🇨🇦
John was at his best at the end of his life.The same as all of us.Why not allways?We are all as frail as Johnny ever was.
The denominator for the best in country music for half a century.
Sublime - best version out there.
We played this song at my dad's funeral. I think he would have appreciated that.
i've loved this song (johnny's version) since the first time i heard it. the pictures you've added make it even more touching. you can hear in his voice he was getting on a bit but i love this stage in his career as you said his voice was very pure.
A whole lifetime on this video, outstanding video and a great song by a great legend.
12 years later, and I am still here at 86.....
This song makes me cry, but at the same time, I can't stop listening to it.
Johnny you have not been gone long but you are sorely missed by my wife & I. We need someone like him but not a pretender!
His voice is very pure, it is honest, true, and pure. Unless your blind or deaf....I'd agree, but if you are neither then you are wrong. Too many people don't know the REAL Johnny Cash.
A taste of heaven in this song ....thanks J.
Johnny, why'd you die on us boy? You were supposed to be immortal....
Sometimes I listen to him and forget that he's dead.......

This is a great song and video. It is without a doubt one of the best videos I have seen with Johnny Cash. Kinda showed John & June from the start to the end. I reposted it on my facebook site.

outstanding picture collection. Many thanks.
Bar-none the Best fan made Cash video on RUclips! Great song! Thanks for sharing.
Best cover of this song
breath taking!!! touches my heart!!!!!
Johnny's songs toward the end gradually were not country music any more. I can feel a new style of music was born. Those in music art should develop what Johnny Cash left for us, a new and beautiful style of music.
Johnny's music will never die.
Its almost spoken word country folk.
He always seemed to put his heart into a song........... he turned a song into a feeling.......
beautiful song, beautiful performer! Thx!
Do you ever know when to just keep your shut and respect the music legends. Johnny Cash is the most talented singer of all time. My favorite singer, and I will not allow you to insult him like that. Thank you very much. You should be very ashamed of yourself for saying something like that. I am disappointed in you for saying that. So would a lot of people.
If only I had the chance to meet him such an artist RIP
Ian Tyson of Ian and Sylvia wrote this song and first recorded it. Ian said this was his favorite cover of it and I agree.
The Neil Young/Nicolette Larson version is better.
@@Danimal1577 No.
Johnny Cash at his best. wish I had his talent
Beautiful! I love Johnny
One of the best artists and unheard songs superb
I care not for who wrote or how it was to be written, but how it is to be sang; filled with emotion and feeling.
ahhhhhhhh......the mournfull croonings of Cash blended with the beyond-moving Four winds.....call Buddha and tell him I'm in nivana.....
Ian Tyson of Ian and Sylvia who wrote and recorded this song (it was a big hit in the 60's) said this is his favorite cover of the song.
Yes, there are good versions by Bobby Bare and Neil Young too.
Perfect song for JC at that time in his career, he could pick the best!!
absolutely beautiful.
Well done! Wonderful collection of photos. I've always loved this great Ian Tyson song and John's version is amazing (considering his physical condition in 2003). Thanks.
