Kyle Goetz

This sounds nothing like the big rock candy mountain

Bluegrass Mojo

Cash was inspiring but damn he butchers every song he remakes into just crap....

Greg Petliski

He's inspiring kids to be tramping bums. As a tramping bum myself, I fucking love this. Go hitchhiking, America!

Twyla Kistner

I thought I had heard all JC songs but this is a new one to me--Thanks Dennis. I can always count on you to play me some CASH music

Mason Muffoletto

It's odd how they changed the lyrics to make them more, "kid friendly," but left in the part about cigarette trees.

Is that Ron Howard at the very end there?

Johnny Cash may be my favorite country singer, but I like Burl Ives's version better.

James Leffel

I love the original version, but this is the version I remember. Until "O Brother, Where Art Thou" that is...

tjsdc619

The melody seems off

AWESOMEnEDOG

The only reason he did a different version was because kids were there, what would you expect?!

I love cash's voice and his covers...but this one isn't as good as others

Lol there we go! If you go on wikipedia they have an interesting last verse that he sung in court lol Obviously to strong for the times lol

Nevermind he wrote it in 1898.

Recording was in its infancy in 1898 Edison Columbia and Berliner were about all the phonograph companies in that day. Who recorded it in 1898? Country/folk wasnt recorded until the 1910s so it would be a big deal to have been recorded in 1898

The Trident Of Nurn

this is a horrible version

Ralph Pootawn

god, you people are idiots. the song is about an ideal paradise for a hobo. most back then, and even now, have nothing to live for but cigarettes and alcohol. if you people have children, i seriously hope you dont supress and censor their childhood. this song got me thinking as a child, and gave me hope. the thought of paradise being "just over the hill" has always been a driving and motovational concept, and it's good for people, and especially children, to have something to look forward to.

Hennry Jars

Oh crap. I just got lung caner and an alcoholism problem because I watched this as a kid. Thats to bad

stillnotdry

IS that the Statler Brothers in the background?

mariajoseradillo

Hehe me and my friends are playing this for a competition in Orchestra.... we just now found out the lyrics......

DriedUpSquid

@ristau Because all of those kids instantly became addicted to cigarettes after hearing this song, right?
