Too produced and glossy. Wish it was starker.

The tax-season song. May all other children who have parents with self-owned businesses bow their heads together in sympathy and in longing for that beautiful Judgement Day (April 15) to be over and done with. *Sarcasm* Really loving the Feds right now.

Company Store = If an employee survived a month of work in the mines he was paid not in U.S. currency but in metals and paper called Coal Strips, which were printed by the coal mining company. Because only the company that printed the strips honored it, or would redeem it, the coal miner had to purchase all of his goods, his food, clothing, and tools from the company store. Hence, the miner would pay monopolistic prices for his goods."I owe my soul to the Company Store" - I hope people can come to better understand and respect the pain in that sentence.

In my humble opinion this version is better than the original one. Besides Johnny's singing, it is arranged very well. I love the four instrumental bars between each verse.

...Sono nato un mattino piovigginosoe mi chiamano attaccabrighe in cerca di guaifui allevato in un canneto da una vecchia leonessae solo un sussurro di donna può mettermi in riga ...

I've just realised my grandfather used to sing this when I was a little kid.... he used to work in the coal houses of big ships, shovelling the coal so this song musta struck a cord with him... he was supposed to sing with fred astaire and all the famous hollywood types but because his mum was a very strict catholic irish mum she wouldnt let him because 'those clubs had gays in them'..... in a way that's repulsive but in a way Im glad or I never would have been born....

A good version, but he's rolling on way too fast for the song.

Ernie Ford did not write this. Merle Travis gets the writing credit for this tune.
