The majority of artists today couldn’t imagine sounding that good live.

Everyone thinks this song is funny, but it's really so, so sad. Even the story that precedes it is sad. Man in Black indeed

The strawberry cake song represents every American worker who struggles to get by, and is shut out of the prosperity that their own labor gives to others. Stealing the cake is the defiant, but short-lived gesture of guerrilla class warfare that we all wish we had the guts to do, but fear the consequences. Because in real life you usually don't get to sit under a bush and enjoy the cake. Instead you are punished, while the people who stole your labor stay rich.

Johnny Cash was right. The best strawberries come from Oxnard, CA.

Johnny would be surprized to see the number of homeless people today.

THAT is music huge contrast to lots of who define themselves as musicians

What a voice !!!

ER hat mein Heranwachsen beeinflusst und ich hoffe ihn in der Ewigkeit persönlich kennenzulernen. Ich mag ihn einfach - damals und heute, den jungen und den alten Johnny Cash.

He DID gave the man the Strawberry Cake! Mr.Cash, leaves that fact out! It is a confirmed fact. Random acts of kindness, it is J.C.! Do you ~ *THINK*~ the story would have been better /if he told of his own good will? Come on, it is the man in black!!! He is only telling the influence of the song, it is everything he stood for and was!. The Man In Black~ think no deeper. £>

As if we needed more proof... Johnny is *so* The! F! ing! Man! ❤️

I love Johnny and I like strawberry cake too ! : )

Such compassion. He is my hero.

Johnny cash is so perfect

Did he buy the man a strawberry cake? It is a Johnny Cash song I have never heard before til today.

Johnny cash what a gentleman

The Man in Black does it again.

i get chills every time i hear this song. :3

The tune is also by Marty Robbins it's called "strawberry roan" but even earlier, from the 1948 movie, A Strawberry Roan, sung by Gene Autry

Wonderful song, to the tune of "Strawberry Roan." Johnny was a s real a deal as anyone could ever ask for.

I miss you so much, John.🥹😌🥲❤️❤️❤️🍓🍰🎂

Miss Johnny, June & the Carter family. 🥰🥰🥰 loved them a lot. Miss Mom too😢🥰🥰🥰

Not his most famous song, but my favourite xx

Don't be fooled. He was the man in the bushes.

A pure delight. Thanks for posting this.

Listen to Johnny Cash talk about how he felt empathy towards a houseless man

Now I understand that that picture of him in the bushes was not about him being high eating cake but it meant something special. (Although he was probably still high lol) but this song was beautiful and made me tear up. His way of singing & songwriting always tells a story that you can visualize and really feel. I appreciate this man so much ❤️

He's playing it with a capo on the 3rd fret using the open G, C, and D chords. This puts the song in the key of B.

There's a cool pic of Johnny eating a cake in a bush

Amazing footage to be able to watch in 2023

"I felt like a stray dog they all kicked around."

Johnny cash legend

I had never heard this song before--very moving.

But for the grace of god, there I go too. A sentiment lost to time, but a thought so powerful, it made I see ourselves whether low or high for the same of gods family, it was the unwritten social contract. But know we are all lost to people that won’t rest for all the money in the world, to people constantly losing economic ground the teachers, the nurses, firemen, cop, even the people that clean our streets all because some mega mergers business douche some Silicon Valley kid think the world and everything in it was made for their plunder.

great song..

How sad that everyone in this video is now gone.

Jhonny Cash é maravilhoso 👏😍

Johhny Cash, not yet the man in black! Beautiful song!

My hometown Oxnard,Ca.🍓🌞

I can't believe I forgot to listen to this on the first of July!

Sounds so familiar. like a song that phoebe buffay sang on friends? hehehe

thanks for the video!!! always Cash :P

Yes.

@2006xr650r That was where he got the tune from..

no dislike yet, so perfect

But for the grace of God ...

I don't know about the "homeless" man story, But I do know that He really did steal that cake & ate it in the bushes lol

Er war so cool drauf

But if by writing this song he was able to reach many people with a message of understanding for your fellow man, which one did more good?

Does anyone know where I can find this full episode??

heheh funny song

They're in a better place :)

Bro didn’t give him the cake💀💀

Ahah, I was thinking that. Fuck the song, the homeless fella would prefer food. Good song though.

Give•••• typo

:)

Lol and you got stoned af eating that cake in the bushes

@sexxyjames no but Vinyl

anybody know the chords for this song?

This is a really nice story, but it would have been nice if he had given that guy the cake instead of writing a song.

Richie Mars. You are saying capo on 3rd fret with G, C and D. How is key of G moved up 3 half steps the key of B? G is the starting point (up 1 ) G#, (up 2) A, (up 3) A#???

Is that Johnny's wife June Carter on the other side of Dinah?

Y'all don't get mad at me, but i think he's way better than freddy mercury
