Cash, Johnny - When You're Twenty-One Lyrics
It was Christmas Eve the night your poor Maw died son
And I reckon she prayed all of her life that she could raise you to be twenty-one
Me and you never moved into town boy we just kept on livin' out here
Aw and life's been good and bad Son for the past twenty-one years
Oh I remember now when you were a little fella and I used to take my boy to church
Why you sounded a lot like a little angel Boy
And to Papa you sure looked sweet
Even though your little ragged britches came half way to your skinny little knees
Oh and it made your Poppa proud boy and it filled my ole heart with joy
The Preacher'd step down and he'd pat your head and he say
My my got yourself a fine little boy
Well maybe my life down here's about over boy
Maybe my days on earth's about done
Maybe now I'll see your Mama and live with the Lord boy
But Merry Christmas to you and a happy birthday Son

Cash, Johnny When You're Twenty-One Comments
Mr Cash does this better than U2, sorry Bono. Yes, you no longer own this song.
I love it!
WORSHIP GUITAR ADD IS A SCAM
This version is fucking great and cool. But I have to say. Nothing beats the U2 version for me
When the Cover Get Better then original . JOHNNY CASH.
The older Johnny got the more poignant his music became. He was one of the few who truly reached your soul and left a mark.
Bono should sue the company that holds Jhonnye cash royalties for this version. Based upon humiliation... It´s like it´s Jhons music not U2´s
Brasil ouvindo 2019?
I´m here man!
I lesson to this song when I'm very depressed it has helped me with alot that I'm going through rip jhonny and June!
I sent this to my ex to give her proper perspective. She listens to hip hoppity trash so it will most likely be too deep for her. Lol
yeah johnny still need some cash ha ha ha
i am ok
¡¡¡himno a la vida sublime y melancolico temazo total¡¡¡¡
The feels, it’s about a man dying of aids, I think it’s from the son to his father, not sure but who cares . God bless all
well u2 is number two - good for you second after Johnny is pretty good :-)
nice song... love it!
American Icon ❤
Ay last...together in the end...continua
RIP JOHNNY, MY HERO, AT PEACE WITH JUNE.
Heavens gain was truly our loss. Thank you Johnny for your gift to us. These songs will be part of humanity always. Some day we will sing with you and June for our father.
Johnny Cash y U2 ...mi musica favorita...
Man in black..R.I.P
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
If you've got someone to blame
You said one love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love we get to share it
It leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing now
It's all I've got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other and we're doing it again
You said love is a temple
Love the higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
I can't be holding on
To what you've got
When all you've got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sister
Brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
One
One
I'm 31 and I just love Jonny cash! Very reliable!
I love it ,,,
Swear he made this sound like his song. Perfection
Great voice
JEDNA MIŁOŚĆ , JEDYNA ...
Como essa música é linda... Pqp!
Quando o "cover" consegui ser melhor do que o original. Gênio!!!
TIROU AS PALAVRAS DA MINHA BOCA \O/ MUITO BOM
Cash era un genio y este cover es espectacular pero One tocado x U2 es insuperable, en mi opinión. ✌
Exatamente.
Love for him. Absolute love. One of the few. Love brother. Absolute love.
Damn, was dying to hear him sing - landmine has taken my arms taken my legs... part.
people can love you just got to believe theirs just to many people wanting to bring change for things not to change
where are the greatest artists in the world today, The ones i love and respect and love to listen to work and laugh too are few and far between, going to miss all of the artists that passed. RIP to those GREAT ARTISTS THAT I GREW UP WITH.
Sing one: https://youtu.be/AI_-KMohntA
Even U2 pale when Cash does there song
The guitar is so simple and clean it makes an amazing contrast with Johnny ´s rough voice.
Jack Luminous — There are multiple guitars, also a piano. It’s a piano song. There’s even an organ at the end.
Ouvindo em dezembro de 2019
one … !
BRAVO 🙂
BEST Comment of the Decade......goes to Gary Tate..If Johnny Cash covers your song, it's No Longer your song.........BTW....Bono agree's with that
2019?????
and I end dead up with One; "me" (👻)
At least for this one song you have to like him, love him, Johnny Cash.
May his soul be bundled in the fire of eternal life. (Jewish saying)
Really very nice. But still the original version is much better for me.
"Cash" grab
Hear those words, repukes?
How hip and cool was he, and how young and tender his heart.
Next time: Johnny cash covers one metallica
That's what I was hoping this was. I knew better though.
Dont try to meme this man. He deserves better.
*His voice on this song remembered a little bit Mark Knopfler's voice on his solo career*
So wished to have seen him.
the soundtrack of my divorce
Woow, Cash resurrected this song for me...
This is the MAN.very unique singing.great voice.RIP.
my heart is made of stone but delicate carrera marbel and jeans
je suis la belle dame sans mercy
yeah johnny i am in love with your friend bob dylan and he do not care much so far but sky is open for all birds
for ever and a day cash lives on. god like or aetheist
The best ever,, Love. The power in this woice is out of this world..
Best cover of any song - ever!
Is good, I loved! 0w0
perfect song..
Can a cover be better than the original? Now we have the answer.
the best example for being better than the original...
i´ve covered this song also but never released it.. respect
To all of my exes I dedicate this song! SO happy without you, LOSERS!
A Giant of Song...Johnny..there will always just be one of you..the real McKoy....in my book, a symbol of Authenticity
Like si eres de mexico o latino america o españa
Mty México 😉
Love Johnny <3 <3 <3
😍😍😍
Vanessa Paradis sang this with just a piano accompaniment. Another beautiful cover. Special song. <3
sa faite du bien !
Amazing version !!!!!
Heard this on the radio and I froze. Put my phone away and listened to the song. So powerful
❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋Piango per uno dei più grandi musicisti esistiti sulla terra....
johnny touched by big brother
I suspect only about a quarter to one third of the views are first time listenings.
Johnny said my song now, and no one can tell him otherwise
might be the first time I really listened to ONE.Blew my mind ! thank you mr JC
" Carry each other "
B E A U T I F U L
I love Johnny's cover !!!
I have been a U2 fan on and off for years , and I've heard this song a thousand times .. but never did the lyrics click til now. Just amazing.
It's just the pair of them having fun but it's such a simple yet brilliant track.
Thank you Johnnie for your comfort and inspiration
He made me feel a whole more different listening the song... in his interpretation I can feel every word in my heart and beyond
Who the hell would thumbs down this.....SMH!!
who the f is wefere????
It was kind of Johnny Cash to let U2 cover his song!
@Juan Nicolás Gallo Garrahan It's true. You can look it up. Peace.
@Jane-Ellen DeSomma One is a song by U2. Trent Reznor is the author of Hurt, an other cover.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_(U2_song)
Lyrics: Bono / Music: U2.
@Juan Nicolás Gallo Garrahan I'm sorry. I thought "Hurt" was the topic. Now that you say it...One..by U2 makes sense. Sorry, I replied in the wrong discussion. The video of "hurt" is heartbreaking.
Some of the most beautiful shit I have ever heard
Why does listening to Johnny Cash get me so emotional ?!!!!
I feel the same way. I assume it's because he utterly bares his soul when he sings. The American recordings are an incredible example of this.
I like this one, but i prefer U2
Played this after my friends funeral just sat there next to his grave and listened for about and hour and a half just thinking about life
by one;
found I'm
always, loving,
love, for
having, no
beginning, and
loving, here
and now
no end
çok anlamlı bir şarkısın ve birine armağan etmek için sabırsızlanıyorum
This is a deep holding version alternatively to the bono high up grab 😎🖒
