[Chorus:]
I said "Stick 'em up everybody, I'm robbing this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said, "Why, you're Johnny Cash!"
I said, "No ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber in New York

Not sure where this story got started but it's not true. He wasn't trying to get out of his Columbia contract, They were legitimately looking for a novelty to song to try to recapture some of the buzz. It didn't work. It was basically the last straw for Columbia.

One of J.R's "worst" songs I consider one of his catchiest & most entertaining. He never recorded a bad song.

[@molonlabe9785]

I absolutely love it and it’s hilarious but I like all of his songs with music videos best like this one and The Baron and One Piece At A Time.

Tabun 7668 His Family called him J.R. in the movie, Walk the Line.

[@quentindugger5389]

You're obviously not a big Cash fan. His birth name is J.R Cash. I am acquaintanced with a few members of his family & they still refer to Cash as "J.R".

[@JimBob-ky8sm]

@Tabun 7668 He changed it to Johnny so he could join the Air Force. They wouldn't accept just initials as a name so he made one up.

Children : Ahah grown-up man wears cape and eats chicken Adults : Was this juvenile farce really necessary to get out of his label record deal? Hardcore fans : Ahah music legend wears cape and eats chicken

I miss johnny cash😢

[@Armentitron]

Love when famous icons do stuff like this, shows they can have a laugh and don't take themselves too seriously

[@Armentitron]

Or otherwise they're desperate and need to try anything

[@Flaminginferno1]

Johnny Cash can make any song sound good, that was just his MAGIC

[@Foul_Quince]

I like that they used the real Roy Acuff.

[@tristentillman5194]

I love how this man held people up with a goddamn guitar

[@tomdandymusicandeverythingelse]

Funny as...I've always liked the song.. Chicken in black 😂

[@Henry-yg1yc]

love the hum at the end while he eats chicken

[@JimBob-ky8sm]

Straight from Walk The Line. It was his way of making sure he was singing on key because Walk The Line changes keys several times.

[@Henry-yg1yc]

yep, that’s why I thought it was funny

[@rayrod2021]

Always loved Johnny's humor in his songs

[@coburncarmichaeljr5895]

By far his worst, but only to his standards... I'd still take this over any country song written in the last ten years.

He didn’t want a brain transplant, but they changed his mind
