As usual, I did not draw these images. I found them on /c/ on 4chan. Your one stop shop for all things cute.
I could probably do an entire month of Johnny Cash gun songs alone. But hell, it’s Johnny Cash! You can’t have too much Cash.
And I swear to God I didn’t choose this song for Valentine’s Day on purpose. It just sort of happened that way. (Forever alone).
I came across this by accident, but 1) it fits this month’s theme, 2) this song is so weird (and apparently a favorite of Dr. Demento) and 3) this video is too funny not to post.
Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since I first heard this song. Ten years!
The original:
Johnny Cash version:
It’s impossible to say which of these versions I like better. The 50s echo on the Marty Robbins version makes his version sound more ghostly. Johnny Cash’s broken down, craggy voice reminds me of an old ranger retelling his life on his deathbed. Either way it’s one helluva song.
