After this he went to the fancy dining car , drank coffee and and smoked a big cigar

[@NathanMcCabe88]

He also stood up to yell when the conductor rang his bell. 😉

[@awedfzsdvgdxfgh]

He knew he had it comin

[@loriallenbaugh35]

His music is poetry so I'm not surprised at his delivery. 🖤 To the man in black.

[@Erik-Erikson]

[@Redmenace96]

JC on a commuter train? Brilliant.

[@falkon215]

Wow Johnny Cash even when he talks sounds like he is singing a song.Its Amazing!

[@melissadavidson2693]

Yes he does I miss seeing him on TV now it's all old shows

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

It's Wonderful watching an old SNL clip with a legendary artist you never knew was on the show.
I sure wish he could have jumped into a rendition of "I've Been Everywhere".

[@PrinceofArfon]

I expected a silly punchline but dang, that was actually poetic and thoughtful.

[@bethanythornton]

This is giving me the most genuine smile and it feels good. Love you JR Cash

[@billymc2681]

Don't know who wrote this bit...but it fits JC perfectly!

[@dkrom]

Well acted by Johnny Cash. He had to spout off a lot dialogue here.

[@hobbygamer6220]

[@chadsilva6942]

[@elemmayo2602]

Is he headed to Folsom Prison

[@orangehornet57]

Johnny Cash had a long love affair with trains. One of the many compilations released by Sun Records was Story Songs About Trains and Rivers. He'd made a great traveling companion. Was Brian's arm sore afterwards? It's nice to see some clips from the Dick Ebersol years. Who else would ride a train if they were readily available in their area?

[@hobbygamer6220]

THATS AS IT SHOULD BE !

[@tommyhaynes9157]

If you never saw the Johnny Cash show you won't totally get this
