No shit??? I did not know that! That's an awesome but of info thanks for sharing that! I know Silverstein from Where the Sidewalk Ends and a Light in the Attic I think it was called. Cool! Thanks!
@@edwardmeade Shel recorded his version for Atlantic Records in 1962 on an album titled "Inside Folk Songs". Shel's version is more bitter and angry from the prisoner's point of view, while Johnny's is more chilling and dark in humor with trying to stifle his giggling. Just listen to Johnny stumble the line when he says "7 more minutes to go " instead of "4 more minutes to go." His throat was giving out after doing this and "Cocaine Blues", and no wonder he had to ask for a glass of water shortly after that.
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 23 minutes to go But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die got 19 minutes to go So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye got 18 minutes to go Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've 12 more minutes to go Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine got 10 more minutes to go Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go But this is for real so forget about me got 8 more minutes to go With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go Won't somebody come and cut me loose with 4 more minutes to go I can see the mountains I can see the skies with 3 more minutes to go And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't want to die 2 more minutes to go I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 1 more minute to go And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Shel Silverstein, who originally wrote and performed this song, is a lyrical genius. And Johnny cooked an absolute masterpiece with it.

What a man What a legend they say Elvis greatest of rock . This man goat country with a doubt
Yes, pre-Hollywood Elvis WAS rock 'n' roll. And Johnny Cash WAS country.
One of the best covers by Cash
Do you know who sang the original?

Brilliant song, can’t go a week without listening to it
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 23 minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye got 18 minutes to go
Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've 12 more minutes to go
Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine got 10 more minutes to go
Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me got 8 more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose with 4 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies with 3 more minutes to go
And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't want to die 2 more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 1 more minute to go
And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
25 minutes to go..❤

Its based in the old west. Shel Silverstein wrote it and he's known for goofy songs.
