Johnny Cash doing Danzig's Thirteen
 

Best cover of Danzig ever



rip, this is music

Bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at
With the number '13' tattooed on my neck
That ink starts to itch
Black gon' turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young

Got a long line of heartache
I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken
Reach from here to Hell
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
Pray you don't look at me
And I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young

Found me with a preacherman confessin' all I done
Catch me with the devil playing 21
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at

I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young

Not really sure if its a cover of Danzig.

Johnny Cash recorded it in 1994 on the album American Recordings, while Danzig recorded it in 1999 on 6:66 Satan's Child.

As weird as it is, I think technically it's Danzig who covered Johnny Cash, even though Danzig wrote it.

Danzig wrote it specifically for Johnny Cash to sing. I remember reading an interview with Danzig back then in which he joked that his dad finally considered him a "real" musician because Johnny Cash sang a song he wrote. :1orglaugh.

Very interesting info.

JC has done some of my favorite covers. He is the man, and I will thank my lucky stars that I was able to see him play live.

Nice share Fletch.

I love cash. Good find man.

i should've used different word, "cover" implied something I didn't intend. I just intended to give credit to Glenn for writing it.

and yes you are right, that is how the story goes.

man some of his songs, i can barely listen to or i tear up like a little girl sometimes lol

same here
listening to him sing something like Sunday Morning Coming Down chokes me up...

love when johnny cash did covers. his unique voice and phrasing really adds so much to a song. I love his version of Redemption Song with Joe Strummer.

That whole album kicks ass! :thumbsup
