Johnny Cash - Starkville City Jail

from the live 1969 concert At San Quentin

If you don't already own this album, go out and get it. Not only is it just great because it's Johnny Cash, but it's raw and funny and gives you a bit of Cash as the man as well as the performer.

This song is amazing - it's hilarious and a great little ditty; it reminds me of the horseshit that I had to put up with when I lived in Mississippi for three years - three of the best years of my life.
