Johnny Cash said this song literally fell out of the sky for him. June woke him from a nap to tell him there was a helicopter landing in their yard. A young Kris Kristofferson handed him a piece of paper with this song on it. Cash recorded it and it won song of the year. Kris said he hasn't done a real day's work since.
This is Kris' arrangement. Somebody made a decent video out of it, I found it on Youtube.
I played it in Schuylerville (see my seven).
