With all due respect to Mr. Cash (and that's a LOT!), when you realize that simple music theory was driving the key changes by verse, his pushing the limits of vocal range sounds (forgive me!) almost comical. As penance / redemption, I'm gonna go listen to the Folsom Prison concert.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
