Ukulele Ray and His Traveling Wildberrys perform their uke-infused arrangement of the Johnny Cash classic, "Folsom Prison Blues," shot on location at Folsom Prison and Old Sacamento, CA. The song features the talents of producer/lead guitarist Jesse Stokes and uke-soloist Tommie Victor.

iconcerts - Rock - Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues. Live at Montreux 1994 www.iconcerts.com Johnny Cash, an American icon, is captured in this amazing performance from the 1994 Montreux Jazz Festival. Going through 19 of his classics, including a guest appearance from his wife June on 'Jackson', Cash gives a history lesson of sorts. At the time of the show, he had been recording for nearly 40 years, and he performs most of his biggest hits. In late 2005, the bio-pic 'Walk The Line' hits theaters, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as his wife June Carter Cash. It is currently slated for a November release, and will presumably be one of the high-profile motion pictures of the holiday season.

It's my first video so please for understanding ^^ I fell in love with this song after i watched "Walk the Line" and I like to sing with song (when nobody's watching and listening ofcourse :D) so I always looking for song with lyrics in it. That's the reason why i upload this vid. Before I recognized JR Cash only because his beautiful song "Hurt". I think that Johnny Cash helped this world with his songs. Oh and I recommend you "Walk the Line" very much! Great movie :)

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (Live) Don't forget to subscribe for more Johnny Cash Music ! Lyrics: 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. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. Other Information: "Folsom Prison Blues" is a classic American country music song credited to Johnny Cash. The song combines elements from two popular folk genres, the train song and the prison song, both of which Cash would continue to use for the rest of his career. It has become one of Cash's signature songs. In the lyrics, the jailed protagonist listens to the whistle of a train outside his cell and recounts his crimes ("I shot a man in Reno/just to watch him die"), imagines the free ...

"Greystone Chapel" is an American country music song written by Glen Sherley in the late 1960s and was included on the 1968 Johnny Cash album At Folsom Prison, released by the Columbia Records label. Glen Sherley was an inmate at Folsom Prison when he wrote the song, which juxtaposed prison life with spiritual freedom that he found in the Greystone Chapel. Sherley was a fan of Cash, whose songs often sympathized with the plight of prisoners. Cash's hit song "Folsom Prison Blues", as well as his occasional clashes with the law, were largely responsible for his popularity with prisoners. Cash heard the song for the first time at the El Rancho Motel in Sacramento on the night before his Folsom Prison performance. Reverend Gresset -- one of Cash's best friends -- asked a favor: "Johnny, I want you to hear a song written by Glen Sherley, an inmate in Folsom, serving five to life for armed robbery. You've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to tell you about it but I thought if you could mention tomorrow that you've heard the tape, it would please that ol' boy who wrote it." The group then listened to the song: "There's a Greystone chapel here at Folsom, A house of worship in this den of sin. You wouldn't think God had a place at Folsom, But he's saved the soul of many lost men." Cash was enthusiastic. He wrote down the words and by the next day his band was prepared to perform the song at Folsom Prison. Cash ended the concert with the song, which drew huge applause. The ...
