Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue

[@anakina1]

He never takes a break, there is no bridge, solo, or any real pause. He sings all the way through. You look back and realize he was cool. not really a title everyone can have, but he was. RIP Johnny. Merry Christmas everyone.

Johnny Cash RULES, period!

[@queenkizkurt]

This song always makes me laugh! So brilliant!! Johnny cash is great at story telling

[@rickraber1249]

You like "One Piece At A Time"?

[@EricandDish]

One of the most brillant songs of the late-60s.

[@theschmidtjulian]

Johnny Cash was really a damn good singer!!!! Rest in peace Sir. I like this song so much!! HI from Germany

[@guyaneseheat6458]

Sue is cool, I like/love Sue's story, Sue is the legendary Johnny Cash, God bless him AMEEN...

[@kevinwebb2480]

This has the best sound of this track. a damn good song.

[@Zarah.nana1948]

My own parents seemed rarely interested in music, when I was younger, other than classical, but somehow a Johnny Cash album made it's way into our house when I was as a kid, and this one has always been a massive favourite of mine, when I sometimes hear it on the radio, and I don't know why?

[@menchs_l7664]

When I first heard this song... I thought it’s all fun and jokes in the lyrics but as I grew older I realized there’s too much pain in the message of the song put into the words of a badass.

[@KkimShi]

A great story teller....And thats what good country music is about...

[@YouStartedForaReason]

Bless you "man in black"...you still make me chuckle. 🎸

[@cmnelson2923]

Guys (and Girls!), REALLY??! "Man in Black" was because he said he'd never where bright colors again until all of the MIAs & POWs were home from Vietnam! And, of course, all the soldiers, too. Sad note - he never did wear any other color to the day he died...

[@Cissablack708]

he was great

[@DrakeBellsgirl4ever]

Such an awesome song! Me and my brother love Johnny Cash

[@jaywalker5632]

One of the greatest songs ever written!

[@om-qg7ju]

Definitely, this is the best version

[@rickraber1249]

And definitely one of the funniest!

[@bfgmech3c]

Written by Shel Silverstein

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Thank you, Johnny Cash. You will always be the best.

[@todhold2673]

This is the first time i've listened to this song in full... being black and all. I gotta say, the story telling writing is 10/10.

[@aspomwell]

Lyrics were written by Shel Silverstien, awesome poet.

[@mynameisaichlinn]

+Bob Dole I don't understand... Why is being black relevant?

[@maplesohrab4960]

+mynameisaichlinn Because mostly white people listen to this song . Fact.

[@mynameisaichlinn]

Maple Sohrab Ohhh, okay

[@ZelphrinsGaming]

+aspomwell Same person who wrote every 90's kids favorite books ;)

[@Yesica1993]

This is priceless, thank you! The man could tell a story like no one else. And he is absolutely gorgeous here. Truly one of a kind.

[@wschandler]

god man john cash is a real legend and will always will be forever

[@bigmind2004]

[@Jefff72]

RIP we miss you Johnny!

[@phillipgreen6203]

How can 111 people dislike this?! I love this rendition! Something about the raw guitar sound and rhythm I like. Rest in peace Johnny Cash.

[@ArdyBorrelli]

Ya gotta love this video . It's before it's time, without doubt, one of the best early "video" clips I've ever seen.

[@cbgflygirl]

One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs!

[@yolandakuieekuiee7260]

One of the greatest country singers, Love to the Navajo brother! RIP

[@chars437]

The Greatest. Some of my greatest memories!!!! Love You Mr. Cash

[@dahooliii]

I remember this song. It was a Top 20 Hit in the UK in 1969.

[@dixieingalls6077]

So funny Johnny had a great sense of humor!

[@jobox060]

They aren't his lyrics, Shel Silverstein wrote it.

[@limpbuisness7122]

Leilani Rodriguez it looks like he’s about to laugh his ass of through the song, so its probably something he’d come up with himself humour whise

[@Cissablack708]

he was great

[@atfourothirtythree]

@@jobox060 great song writer.

[@Yesica1993]

It's never too late, not really! He's got a zillion albums, and some wonderful videos here on YT as well. I regret that I didn't follow him as closely as I should have, and I'd give anything if I had seen him perform live. But his music will live on forever.

[@afsoc1909]

Grew up listening to this man sing Amazing unique voice!

[@everhad1ofthosedayz]

this kinda music was never mine but this man is a god. love his music.

[@adampearson823]

[@scottybell7661]

First heard this in 1959. My dad was a long haul trucker and bought this record out of a jukebox in a truck stop

[@tucosalamanca6744]

Simply fantastic

[@jamesvignali6074]

Top ten songs of all time.

[@jond2458]

[@luisautley4920]

I love this song ihe brings this song to live and connects with his feelings. He sings it with pride. 💙

[@danielaramirez7870]

I love this song!!!

[@UchihaOokami2596]

Feel this was a song Johnny Cash just loved to play.

[@garylyons6859]

Thank god he didn't actually name his boy sue lol. My favourite johnny cash song is an inspirational one about a father who wanted his son to grow up tough and stand up for himself in a cruel world. RIP johnny you are a legend.

[@JANNAMINISTRY]

My Dad J.D. Loved this song. This song brings back a lot of memories. OMG. Call me anything but SUE when my DAD came home from WELDING, PLEASE!

[@DeezeR734]

Played this friday at my grandads funeral. Amazing song for an amazing man.

[@pdholland]

Was he named Sue?

[@chrisfoster1512]

I love this song

If I have a son, I'll name him Bill or George anything but Ndamaukong Suh

[@littlefarm34]

His cousin was named Billy...I always wondered if Bill was for him

[@SquireHoggOfficial]

[@starshinesnider5809]

GREAT SONG!!

[@tommyjosephmarion7907]

hahaha, awe good old Johnny Cash. Great Guy xD RIP Brother

[@JohannaNazareen1225]

This song allways makes me laugh and smile. And all the people that I sing it to. I heard there was a man who realy was named Sue after his mother who died at child birth. But who the hell censores Johnny Cash?

[@petergant183]

I LOVE Johnny Cash's music, this ALMOST something like if Weird Al tried country music! It's a great story, very funny and I was leaning forward, like I did the first time I heard it! Love me some Cash, both Johnny and the green stuff

[@mycatzcute]

im 14 and this is the 2nd time a won an arguement with sum1 hoo grew up listening to this song about whether or not johnny cash did this song.

[@VictusPendragon]

i love this song o much

[@Amaliae89]

Ohh do I laugh every time I listen to this song! Johnny Cash

[@zctivo7442]

Happy Birthday, Legend among all legends

[@123samskate]

Who the flip thought it would be a good idea to censor this song!

[@jamesduncan6309]

Tv censors this is from a network show "This is Tom Jones" episode 24 or season 2 episode 9 it actually aired in 1969 though not 70 like in the description.

[@123samskate]

Well then. That makes total sense.

[@markdamen730]

+Cole Lamers but the u.s.a 50 years ago is what we want

[@allenbooth7033]

+Greg Galvan I noticed you censored yourself when you said "flip" instead of another word that starts with the same letter.

[@anthonychoate8043]

AROUND THE TIME THEY WOULDN'T SHOW ELVIS BELOW THE WAIST...I WISH IT WAS STILL LIKE THAT..TV IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY OUT THERE NOWADAY

[@dafnic]

make sure that the next book all of you buy is his book!!! it is totally amazing...talk bout a crazy life!!!

[@gerritverbruggenverbruggen8719]

Zomer van 1969 vakantie op de camping van Oom Tom in Groote Keeten Noord Holland. Sue zat in de jukebox van de kantine. Veel gedraaid en veel kwartjes in de jukebox gedaan. Hoorde van zijn kleinzoon, die daar woont, dat zijn Opa Tom 86 jaar was geworden.

[@24859762tony]

god this brings back memories !

[@laurenlfc48]

"MY NAME IS SUE, HOW DO YOU DO, NOW YOUR GOIN TO DIE" love it haha! so funny!

Great video

[@mikaelarule]

My father named me. He was the biggest JC fan.. I am The Girl named Mikey ♥️ bittersweet knowing he knew he wouldn’t be there for me, but gave me a tool to survive without him. I’ll always love you more than you know.

[@blairspaid8040]

he was the outlaw of his time

[@twofiveb]

There's a guy named Sue in "The Debt Collector". Mean SOB that will bust your kneecaps if told to do so by his boss.

[@jamuga60]

He did that performance under a good degree of duress I reckon. But he wouldn't let a little thing like a coughing fit or hiccups or such get in the way of that!....................................................A real pro.

[@ernestoburguillos6272]

Amazing

[@SamJames2393]

this song is sung with the back drop of Jail House Rock ... So elvis must have been on the same show .... what a show that must have been

[@willeviles8874]

No lip sync either wow, very nice.

+Shin Obi No auto-tune either. That is the real voice.

[@gabrielfewkes1323]

I knowwww, so many videos from this era were lip synced studio recordings

[@RM-eo3uu]

@@gabrielfewkes1323 I don't know where you get your information from, lip-syncing was not something that was widely used in the late 60s or early 70s if at all. Country performers like Johnny Cash especially did not lip-sync.
