The Ballad of Big Johnson

[pdqdl]

Same song, done by Johnny Cash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWKGhwwVgKY&feature=related

Cash's version ends with 'At the bottom of this mine, lies one Hell of a man", hence the difference in recollections.


I like Jimmy Dean's version better. Crisper vocals, better mixing, better ending.

well I woke up the other morning with " Its raining men" in my head. It went on for a few hours, I tell you it was rough and it wasn't the first time it has happened.

I've heard this song too many times back at Fort Bragg just before walking out of Green Ramp to load the birds for a jump. Kinda of a sick form of humor in the AA.
