Chorus:
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone

[@MattsContraptions]

this must have been such a ''once in a lifetime'' moments, to be there.. God I wish..

[@highnrising]

I was there! Waylon was actually the star of the live shows, in a way. He was the one who embraced the concept of the group and spoke and joked about himself and the others and kept the crowd entertained.

[@60Cascade]

​@@highnrising Exactly right. I saw them in the early 90s and I commented to the people I was with that it surprised me that Waylon was sort of the spokesman for the group. And he was really funny. I'd seen Waylon in concert in the late 70s and he hardly talked at all in between songs. Cash on the other hand (who I'd seen several times in concert) would always talk and joke with his audience, but he didn't say much during the Highwaymen show. He did get a standing ovation when he did the "Ragged Old Flag" which was very moving. Great memories - I love all four of these guys.

[@SC-jh9qp]

I saw them live in London in 1992. One of the two musical highlights of my life, the other being when I saw Paul Simon in concert.

So thankful that the filmmakers chose to shoot on film instead of video which was becoming more common at that time. Videotapes hard a resolution of roughly 480i. When 35mm film is scanned, it resolves a resolution of about 4k. As a result, this restored footage looks like it was shot yesterday. Great to see history preserved!

Every time Johnny lifts his guitar like that I feel like he's hitting his star power like on the game.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

This song was so important for his career!! Written in Landsberg (Germany) during his Air Force service and performed for Sun Records in 1955 it became a kind of a Signature song for him. The one and only JRCASH. What an Artist!! An international Superstar!!! RIP GREAT MAN. /CD

[@shinyredpaintworkproductio7969]

Not to mention that it became a hit in 1968 after he performed it in Folsom State Prison, and it had 2 re-records! One from 1964 and one from 1988.

He stole the song from crescent city blues. He had to pay $75,000 to play it. I’m a big cash fan, but he didn’t write this shit

[@LeslieJayBoschPhoto]

@@JR-wo3sn The idea is adapted from a song called Crescent City Blues. Which was a slow, orchestra song. Nothing was 'stolen'. And he certainly did write "this shit". So much for calling yourself a Cash fan.

[@42awww]

@@JR-wo3sn I thought it was written by Shel Silverstein?

Cette chanson était si importante pour sa carrière !! Écrit à Landsberg (Allemagne) pendant son service dans l'armée de l'air et interprété pour Sun Records en 1955, il est devenu une sorte de chanson signature pour lui. Le seul et unique JRCASH.
