Johnny Cash - Sam Hall (1965)

[@Leelsabeth]

This was my grandfather's favorite song. We sang it at his burial 9 years ago

[@kennydobbins9644]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@davidpowder7524]

That was a bunch of bull

[@kennydobbins9644]

David Powder​ How dare you disrespect her that way? All she was doing was paying respects to her grandfather.

[@Leelsabeth]

David Powder to each their own. Being an ass on the Internet is a bunch of bull. Have a nice day.

[@kennydobbins9644]

Alia McHugh I would say a bully.

[@terrasculp]

Clint Eastwood also sings some of it in ‘Two mules for Sister Sarah” when he’s drunk and Shirley McLean is pulling the arrow out of his shoulder...

[@bobjohnson3024]

Also sung by Sam Shepard in "Blackthorn" (20111)

[@jotepbollano6844]

Well done,good post,great song. Can't wait for your next to come along.

[@ronandlili]

I remember this song from the mid-sixties, except it was sung by the Brothers Four. I thought it had a message that needed to be broadcast from the hilltops.

Cash was the man! I love this song. Funny thing is, I have a best friend named Sam Hall. Haha I'm not even joking.

[@markhogg1291]

That's what I thought at first - but it absolutely is Cash, though. Don't know what he was doing at the time... but it's definitely him!

[@delreyd5603]

it remind me about Clint Eastwood in Two mules for sara sister''And the parson, he did come, he did come,and he looked so bloody glum, as he talk of kingdom come.Well he can kiss my ruddy bum.Damn his eyes''

[@davidpowder7524]

I sang this in music class

[@RaimoKangasniemi]

Behind this is a swimney sweep Jack Hall, who was hanged in London for burglary in 1701, or more likely in 1707. At some point popular ballads about him (already popular in 18th century colonial America as much as in the British Isles) turned him into a killer, and in mid-19th century his name was changed to Sam Hall by Scottish singer W. G. Ross(1819-81) in his popular performances.

[@Chuckjr777]

Strange​ song during Johnny's "nervous" period...

[@dannyaitken2209]

Now gamn your eyes

[@larrystapp4385]

Just so y'all know. This isn't an original J. Cash song. It's an old folk song from the early 1900's. But you couldn't record your songs in 1905. Lol. Johnny was the man for keeping it alive!

[@madhatmike]

It's actually quite a bit older than that. Sam was hung in 1707. Google it. Song is from at least 1840's.

[@BenPittoors]

It's an Irish folk song. But Cash did make it his own.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@BenPittoors It's English. Originally from the early 1700's and called 'Jack Hall' after a thief hanged at London's Tyburn Hill. Later re-written in the mid 1800's as 'Sam Hall' and sung in the music halls.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@madhatmike Not Sam but Jack Hall. The song was re-written in the mid 1800's for the music halls and renamed ' Sam Hall'.

[@madhatmike]

@@Wotsitorlabart fair enough! Do you have a source on that? I could use it... thanks!

[@zmandyce]

my cousin played for Baylor Bears football is name Sam Hall lol

[@jskaur2837]

My name is also Sam Hall

[@dannyaitken2209]

It's not your hide

[@jamesgaley4405]
