Johnny Cash - San Quentin (Live from Prison)

Very famous concert. Didn't realize Haggard was in the audience.

Good day and Happy New Year 2019, my friend SGT (Join to see) and thank you for sharing the music video of Johnny Cash performing San Quentin live from San Quentin Prison.

Since you mentioned that Merle Haggard was imprisoned at San Quentin at this time, I decided to share an interview with him.

"San Quentin" written by Johnny Cash
Lyrics
"San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
You've blistered me since nineteen sixty three
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
And long ago I stopped askin' why

San Quentin, I hate every inch of you.
You've cut me and you scarred me through and through.
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
Mister Congressman you can't understand.

San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul,
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.

San Quentin, I hate every inch of you."
