Ya know, standin’ back there in your shop cathcin’ my breath, I come to admire you even more. See, I never had to do hard time like you. Although I have, on occasion, found myself busted. -That’s right!!! -Alright JOHNNY!!!! Once in El Paso, I had this bag of… Oh…

Well that was till a moment ago… Cause I gotta tell you… My hat’s off to you now. Cause I aint never had to drink this yellow water you got here in Folsom!! ** LOUD APPLAUSE!!!!!** GLASS SHATTERING This song’s for your warden!!!! “Early one morning while I’m making the rounds. I took a shot of cocaine then I shot my woman down.” “I went riding home then I went to bed.
I stuck that lovin’ .44 beneath my head.” “I got up the next morning and I grabbed that gun.
I took a shot of cocaine then away I run.” “Made a good run but I run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico.” “Laid in the hot joint takin’ the pill
In walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill” “He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You’re the dirty hack that shot your woman down.” BOOM!!!!!!!! -WHEN I WAS ARRESTED I WAS DRESSED IN BLACK “When I was arrested I was dressed in black. They put me on a train and they took me back.” “Had no friends for to go my bail.
They slapped my dried up carcass in the county jail.” “The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen.
99 years in the Folsom pen.”

Joaquin Phoenix's tremendous performance, one of the best biographies I've seen.
I start rithy my feet every day when hear this song … 🙂
curiousity out of The Joker brought me here although ive seen the movie years ago. JP is one of a kind actor. if he doesnt win the oscars this year this world is damned
they cut out the best part of the song
0:53 The way June looks at him.
I never gave Reese Witherspoon much attention before.But she was hot as hell in Walk the Line with dark hair and country accent.
The origin of the Joker
I find him attractive on this movie
Awesome performance 👏 love this movie
Why can't they make an Elvis movie like this
Remainds me someone….😏
I like the song in the movie better ha
In scenes like this, there are so many fking comments about it being,
"Oscar-worthy!"
"He/she deserved an oscar!"
"How did it not win an oscar?!"
Does anything relating to good film quality need to relate to the oscars?
An oscar is not the ultimate validation for great film artistry. A great chunk of the world already appreciates and sees the beauty in it, and that alone should be enough. Plus, there are so many films that come out in a single year, if the oscars took time to award to every fine quality movie moments, it would go on for hours, and they're already cut short as is.
Joaquin deserved two Oscars for this one. Outstanding performance.
Everything Joaquin does is just brilliant. I absolutely love him. One of my all time favorite and also one of if not THE best actor of our time.
This guy is playing The Joker just think about that for a second….
i grew up with johnny cash, and seeing him and Reese portray the legends so well makes me very happy
the best actor ever…❤️👌🏻
This Joker
Phoenix can kinda sing
Pretty good movie..I liked him better in We Own The Night.
And he's going to play Joker very soon
His voice sounds like Seth MacFarlane (family guy)
i learnt alot from this movie . at some point i wanted him to be the johnny himself. i love you phoenix.. To me you are the best act and definitely deserve more than just an accolade.
THIS SONG IS FOR YOUR WARDEN
2019 Y SIGO VIENDO ESTA ESCENA…
From The joker to Johnny Cash this man is a legend
1:41 Johnny Cash reincarnated, even the face is the same
JOKER
I love you so much.
The best actor ever !! I love phoenix …
Great Film
Can we talk about how he looks like pewdiepie with his faces.
From Johnny cash to the joker great actor
Didnt know joker can sing
TOP PERFORMANCE.
I like this version more
He got the coke face down pat
Does anyone waiting the Joker movie,but still watching this extrordinary performance?
From johnny cash turn into joker
such an underrated actor. if he gets rob for being THE JOKER, i dont know what the hell is hollywood thinking. like post malone said, hollywood's bleeding. they are vampire sucking you out.
Even if Joaquin Phoenix didn´t do anything else this would be a treasure.
When I was arrested I was dressed in black.
The song is about William s Burroughs who shot his wife in the head and ran to Mexico. He wrote under the pen name William Lee as mentioned in the song. William a Burroughs was a junky who wrote the book by that name and in the book described shooting cocaine in a way only he could.
Prison folk are the best folk.
When country met counterculture. Get your balls back country. Praising the flag like a tool and overly licking soldier boots ain't doing it anymore. Time to get angry because everyone is getting played.
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head.
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico.
Laid in the hot joint takin' the pill
In walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down.
I said yes sir my name is Willie Lee
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
Shot her down cause she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friends for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in the county jail.
Early next morning about a half past nine
I spied a sheriff comin' down the line
Coughed and coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty hack into that district court
Into the court room my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look about.
In about five minutes in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered Lordy Lordy have mercy on
He's got Johnny's voice down, but the eyes are too crazy. No matter what he says, Johnny's face is always steady.
Joaquín P. Oscar, 2020. Joker.
I swear, now that I know who Joaquin Phoenix is, I see him everywhere.
Didn’t he actually sing these songs during the movie? Unreal 🤯🤯🤯
This joker movie is strange
This movie looks good.
Will you introduce me as the Joker ?
Strange comment: Anyone else like the music movieclips plays after the clip is done?
⬇️ These are how many awards Joaquin Phoenix should of won for playing Johnny Cash!!
“They slapped my dried up carcass in the Arkham Jail”
“For I was in prison and you visited me…”
Who else is here after watching Joaquin kill it as the Joker?
Just came back from watching Joker and watching this again. Hats off to Phoenix for having such amazing range to bring totally different vibes in every different movie. Best method actor living right now
Undisputedly one of the best actors of this generation.
Oscar u don't listen , do u!!
Dude is the best actor of our lifetime.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Genius.
Hollywood does not deserve Joaquin Phoenix!!! Love him so much!
what a Legend … . . . . . . . . . .
El Bromas
Guess after all these years the Man in Black finally decided to don a more colorful attire… Still, to think Joaquin would play Mr. Cash and some 15 years later the Joker, that's quite formidable.
I swear, Joaquin Phoenix can do anything. The fact that he was really singing in this will always blow me away. That's not an easy voice to impersonate.
HE WILL WIN AN OSCAR FOR JOKER. HE IS ANOTHER BREED.
I hope he does more movies..
Is he supposed to be Elvis or Johnny cash?
I'm here 'cause of the Joker flick. FYI – I used to do Brando marathons, Clark Gable and James dean screenings for my kid (she's 8 yrs old) so she can appreciate good cinema. Now, I'm gonna do Joaquim Phoenix binges bUT… I'll wait until my kid is a bit older… she will never sleep at night.
First actor that will receive best actor of the century award.
Loooooooooove this movie!
When biopic movies were great.
There is no punchline
People have to stop carrying about the Oscars, they mean absolutely nothing.
Joaquin is simply amazing…
He can sing, He can dance, He can kill!… He is the Joker ❤❤❤
👍
Anyone here after Joker?
What did the old man in the crowd say?
Such a criminally underrated performance I swear
Had to come back & appreciate Pheonix
Well no one‘s laughing now
this man learned to sing and play!! & no oscar??
Merle Haggard is there somewhere haha.
BUEATIFUL MAN WAS RIPPED OFF SHOULD HAVE ONE THAT OSCAR😠
missed oscar, once again….joker has it nailed.
his acting is on a whole other level…
My favourite scene ❤ I love his voice and Reese voice too. Best biopic film ever 👏
Reese should stick to brown hair
0:54
Johnny Cash was writing gangster rap a loooooong time ago.
he's kinda look like chuck bass
I haven't seen this movie in ages, and I had to come back after seeing Joker.
I love reading the comments about him not winning an oscar for this one, feels like time travelling to the past, people loved his performance here, and yet it didnt get the satisfaction of being recognized as the best, I saw one comment that said "his time will come (to win an oscar)" and most likely it'll be Joaquin's version of Joker.
Here after The Joker. Anyone else?
Did he actually sing? It's really good!
This guy was great here and in the Joker
