I've listened to many versions of this song and up to now, Paul Newman's rendition was still my favorite. But this........this is bloody brilliant!!
Paul Newman's my favorite too, Boss.
Perfectly stated. Before my best friend died we used to like throwing a few back and making up addiction choruses to this song...RIP Darrin Peters.
Funny how an actor sang one of the best versions of this song. A great race car driver and singer. What can Paul Newman not do?
Ditto Friend. !
Tia Blake for me but this is good
gets me a tear every time thinking of my wife Rosey missing her forever thanks Thomas
I've listened to six or eight versions tonight.
This is the one I'll save.
Well done son, it's the very best by far.
This is just fucking excellent, old sing with a new take done beautifully
I love this performance. Stripped to the bone, just a man with his well tuned guitar and rootsy voice... penetrated the heart of the song. People don't understand the solo performance is very, very difficult to pull off, to capture and keep peoples attention.
True, but give a listen to Paul Newman's performance of this song.. in "Cool Hand Luke"
Knew Thomas in high school, he was a genuine ass dude 😎
This song is 🔥
What hight school did y’all go to?

This is a brilliant arrangement & performance of this classic song.
I keep coming back to it.
This certainly deserves a lot more views.
Congrats to Thomas Csorba ! Very talented indeed.
You took a great thing and made it better, my dude!
I remember it being
When I weave around at night
And the cops all think I'm tight
They'll never find my bottle though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head screws off you see
He's hollow and I use him for a flask.
Ride with me and have a dram
Of the blood of the lamb
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar
The last verse is:
And if I'm caught driving fast at night
Policemen think I'm very tight
They never find my weed, though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head screws off you see
The perfect place for me to hide my stash
haha I think there must be at least 20 or 30 verses of this song. I never hear the same version twice each singer has their own verses. I like your version better, it makes more sense to when the song started out. I thought his weed verse was the verse he said he wrote but who knows?
@@beer1for2break3fast4 That's this guy's version, I never heard weed in the song before. This is one of those songs that's sung differently by every artist who sings it so you can't go around saying this is the right version because there just ain't no right or wrong version with this song.
A heck of a voice!
Wonderful. A beautiful rendition of this song.
How does this not have a billion views? Bravo dude. Bravo!
Folk Music isn't about legal or owning. It's about coming across an old song and adding to it, developing it. My dad's friend Ernie Marrs took a musical comedy skit and developed it into this full-fledged folk song. You can hear my dad playing and singing with him in the Smithsonian recording. So, yeah, add lyrics. Ernie and Bud would have liked that. I know that for a fact.
I loved this song already, but this version is my new favourite...and how cute is this guy's smile... :)
hell yes. I'm a Cool Hand Luke diehard - this is AMAZING. love it.
I keep coming back to this .what's with the fella just sitting there ? Get up man tap them feet crack a smile.
Very very talented brother,super smooth.
That is a most excellent rendition.
I'm hooked .
My favorite version. Kids voice is perfect.
Everyone does a chorus.
For me I actually found out about this song from my uncle that knew of the original before CHL and requested it for Christmas and we had to illegally download it.
Exquisite use of “river of Jordan”, props.
My dad loved cool hand Luke and used to sing this all the time...over the years I’ve changed it too. This was great! 😊
that last stanza originally goes like this: When I weave around at night and the PO-leece think I'm tight, they won't find my bottle, tho they ask. Plastic Jesus comforts me, for his head comes off, you see. He's hollow and I use him for a flask.
great performance! jist the raat amount uh twang!
This has to be one of my favorite version of plastic Jesus that I've heard I love brother keep it up
I like this version. I arrived here by way of Tia Blake and her tender version of 'Plastic Jesus'. I'm reminded of how spirited 'Cool Hand Luke' was: Harry Dean Stanton's cover of A Closer Walk With Thee is my all time version. Only wish that I could find the complete song somewhere.
Cool hand likenis one of my favorite movies
Love this version!
First time with Paul Newman, you are great too. Beautiful ❤️ song.
I NEEDDDD THIS TAB
Excellent new lyrics and the voice is perfect for the song.
never thought i'd be coming from tiktok
This is as good as it gets. Great job.
You are My AMAZING MIRACLE Today, Amen- Thank You From Our Family PAX and R & R. To You And Yours Jesus Christ Is Lord, Amen!!!
Listened to this loads. It's quality and I always remember cool hand Luke .Paul Newman one of the greatest actors of all time.
......boy, that Thomas Csorba was a world shaker......
This rendition you created is the Best P.J. out there, Paul would have been honored.
Dude you sound, REALLY good. Super cool vocals, very smooth picking, keep it up
Brilliant, great! Love this guy's method of presentation, superior. Great voice, great face, great smile, great play for a great music.

One of the great traveling songs.
I love it! We need this wonderful "tacky" humor mixed with faith in this difficult time all over the world. Thank ya Jesus for music, for humor and for people who are not afraid to be REAL!!!
Well said, Jane. Well said.
@@jasontkarpf Believe it or not I play this melody on my harp for my patients!! It is upbeat and happy just when they need it!
The song is mocking faith and those that have it.
A BLOODY CLASSIC
Amen God Bless You Brother

I sang the movie version with my guitar at my best friend's funeral in 2014
Awesome job man! Was just thinking of covering this tune. Love the movie. One of my favs.
Pretty presumptuous to add a chorus to such a well worn favorite, except of course that's how it got most of its verses in the first place. Nice turns of phrase, and I like the bobblehead imagery update. I guess the dentist owned Texas radio station that inspired the original wouldn't have hawked those, but only because they hadn't been invented yet.
Good for you man! Really like this song.
Man! I just found this... Absolutely love it! Have a kinda "Paul Newman tone! Can't wait to see your other videos!
Tearing up here boss, a nite in the box
I love this tune, man, an d you do it well. Peace
SOOOUUUUIIEEEE!!!!
Put this on iTunes. PLLLEEEEEAAASSSEE!!
Splendid rendition!
Awesome!
Lamo love it
So good. I loved the added verse!
You just played my eulogy
Like someday hopefully a ways off, but this will play at mine.

Damn awesome!
This is fabulous! Well done!
Great job and a beautiful rendition
Pretty guitar playing !!! Great voice also !
Awesome version!
Went rabbit huntin online and caught some art instead:) Superb show young man! I can dig it.
Very nice !
Well I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I've got my plastic Jesus
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
Clothed in colors pink and pleasant
Clothes in the dark cause she's iridescent
She'll go with you when you travel far
So get yourself a sweet madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sittin' on a
Pedestal of abalone shell
Well going ninety
That ain't scary
Cause I've got that Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell
Oklahoma down to San Antonia
35 my river of Jordan
I don't worry along the way
Dallas Texas, Tennessee
Plastic Jesus rides with me
Bobbin' his head down the interstate
When I'm in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say "damn"
I can let all my curses roll
Because Plastic Jesus doesn't hear
Because he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic
Saved my soul
And if I'm gonna fornicatin'
I've got my ceramic Satan
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Women know I'm on the level
Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
And if I'm caught driving fast at night
Policemen think I'm very tight
They never find my wheel, though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head screws off you see
The perfect place for me to hide my stash
Oklahoma down to San Antonia
35 my river of Jordan
I don't worry along the way
Dallas, Texas, Tennessee
Plastic Jesus rides with me
Bobbin' his head down the interstate
You wrote "wheel," I think he said "weed."
@@theeclectic2919 he did
You wrote "Clothes in the dark cause she's iridescent" but the first word is GLOWS, silly.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta be honest. I wasn’t sure when I heard you say you added to it bc I love this in Cool Hand Luke but you did a great job my man! Mad props!
I like it young fella i like it a lot
Tearin up hear boss!
SUPERB
Would love to hear Billy strings do this to.
