Cash, Johnny - 25 Minutes To Go Lyrics
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell
I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell
I've got 24 minutes to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal
But nobody asked me how I feel
I've got 22 minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch
With 21 minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch
I've got 20 more minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die
Got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
Got 18 minutes to go
Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul
With 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold
I've got 12 more minutes to go
Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine
With 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine
Got 10 more minutes to go
Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free
With 9 more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me
Got 8 more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose
Got 5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose
Got 4 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies
With 3 more minutes to go
And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't wanna die
I've got 2 more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows
1 more minute to go
And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Cash, Johnny 25 Minutes To Go Comments
I love how strained and frantic his voice gets as the song goes on
360 folks dislike being strung up.
Kinda sux to only have beans for your last meal
One of my favorites by Mr.Cash...hell actually all of his songs are my favorites
He said 8 mins to go 5 mins to go then 7 mins to go
Wish this was 25 minutes long
Well I'm dissapoint youtube tells me this video was uploaded 11 years ago clearly not 25 mins like the title suggests.
But nobody ask me how i feel
This popped up on my reccomend videos literally 25 minutes until 2020.
At least something worked out this year lol
I love Johnny cash
Did anyone hear his voice crack
Mikey Cantu It was intentional
I’ve never heard this. Thank you.
I love how this song is structured like a ticking Time-Bomb inside your head, when you're about to snap or are on Death Row.
I m agree it look like the time laps before jumpin on hot point
When did he make this
Death penalty is idiotic even if vengeance and hate is your game. Death is easy after it's done. Keep them alive. Make them suffer. Make them work with only the minimum necessary for life. If later evidence exonerates them, they get a huge check and they aren't dead. It's a win win win.
The problem with this is over crowding and not enough funding to keep them alive
Masterpiece
the greatest country singer all over the world with an amazing voice i love him ¨!
Aw, the trap and the rope, they work just fine!
Waiting for mum after getting report card
Is there a word "muther"? Yeah.
When my computer gets the low battery notification and you didn’t bring your charger
all Cash songs should be in Suicide Squad Franchise
Every song of Johnny Cash should be in Suicide Squad 2 because it's about jail
My daughter needs to know i have 25 minutes to go
I wonder what he did during his last 17-14 seconds
I play this when I´m about to leave work.
man his eye must of burned when johnny spit in it
2.5 million views :)
Epstein's theme
Reminds me when I got suspended from the school bus and Mum got a phone call about it. The thing was, the bus driver was lying about me giving her attitude but nooooo the school takes the drivers side not even bothering to get ample evidence.
I like how he gets more frantic and scared as the minutes pass by, like the bit where he yells “Won’t somebody come and cut me Loose!?”
Woke me up made me see don't be a trouble cause if you do this could happen to you and I'm talking about 10 years old!
He fucks up at the end. It goes from 5 minutes to go, then 7 minutes to go then 4 minutes to go.
Possibly intentional, symbolizing the confusion caused by the stress.
@Feels Man Could be, I didn't even realise at first but the song is so catchy I played it again and again, then as I sang along I noticed it.
@Jono It's probably just an error because this is the live version and the studio version doesn't have this mistake.
my dad always played Jonny the. I was a kid and know I know all the words to this
WARDEN: What will you have for your last meal? CONDEMNED: Some nice fresh strawberries! WARDEN: Strawberries won't be in season for another five months! CONDEMNED: I'll wait...
25 minutes, 2:50 minutes
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 23 minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye got 18 minutes to go
Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've 12 more minutes to go
Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine got 10 more minutes to go
Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me got 8 more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose with 4 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies with 3 more minutes to go
And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't want to die 2 more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 1 more minute to go
And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
Funny thing about this song (one of them): He says he wants a pardon, but he never says he didn't do it. Whatever "it" was, but they usually don't give the death penalty for anything other than murder.
Contrast that with Folsom Prison Blues, where he admits he did it, but he's apparently sentenced to life, not death.
Notice that here he's singing about an execution by hanging, on the gallows. That's not a common method in this time and era, so it's probably a more of a western-y themed song. Back then lots of other things could get you hanged other than murder. Like attempted robbery or even a horse theft.
When ur mom look at your 3 terabyte folder of “homework”
Hold up, according to the song a gallow was built in 25 minutes... Impressive.
Non vaccine kids be like
Its becase I killed somebody oh wait. My name is SUE how do u do now ur going to DIE..
Its happening now baby,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,About the killer in El Paso,,, IMO This is my idea on how to begin to slow down and perhaps stop this pain, our nation has endured,
A, don't give him 1 second of TV air time,, B Get a rope and hang him immediately,, C I don't want to hear a sad story concerning any part of his life,, D Run an inquiry about how anyone else may have added
to the planning or conveyance of these senseless killings,, We the people have every right to demand that shift action be taken,, *NO QUICK ACTION,,IS NO QUICK SOLUTION*.........
100% agree. Media exposure, aside from the hatred these people are filled with, is basically the only thing they do these things for.
And he's talking about burning BUT I'M SO COLD.
I like how the song speeds up and he sounds more nervous as it goes
He goes from 5 minutes to go, all the way back to 7 minutes to go??? Where did the extra 2 minutes come from??? 2:04
@Michael he said the wrong thing during this recording as it was live, he did mean to to say 4 minutes but who really cares anyway
@Ryan Waring2002 thanks for the explanation. Makes sense
@Michael he can do whatever he wants, it's called freedom of creativity
@Ty Wallace when I first heard it. I thought he bought himself another 2 minutes by screaming out...
@Michael yes
He may be from Arkansas , but his style is Tennessee and we'll fight for that. (Just a silly joke)
When you beat your brother, and he threatens to tell your mother...
Clearly you are not beating him hard enough then
Unico hablando español? Si
Where is 4 more minutes?
He just said the wrong thing
I haven't found the connection between cash's lyrics and the priest drawn insane
Good boy.
Im getting that 22 minutes to go tatto.
How'd it work out bud
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 23 minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye got 18 minutes to go
Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've 12 more minutes to go
Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine got 10 more minutes to go
Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me got 8 more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose with 4 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies with 3 more minutes to go
And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't want to die 2 more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 1 more minute tùo go
And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
The real song is way longer. This is a lazy art student's version.
The missing lines in the middle:
Well...I call out to the Warden to hear my plea.
17 minute to go.
He says, 'Call me back in a week or three.
You've got 16 minutes to go.'
Well, my lawyer says he's sorry he missed my case.
Mmmm....15 minutes to go.
Yeah, well if you're so sorry, come up and take my place.
I got 14 minutes to go.
Real music right here
It should have been “Here I go, with no more minutes to go”
"Hey preacher, god send ya?"
"Yes son."
"Why didn't he send ya sooner?"
WHOA great animation, man ! so creative
I’ll sit in Folsom with Johnny any day!
''Nobody asks me how I feel'' - Johnny on the 21st century's teenagers
Johnny really mixes his numbers up after 10 minutes
Anyone else notice that he went “5”, “7”, “3”?
When I was locked up in Los Angeles' Men's Central Jail,this song was stuck in my head !
God Bless the Man in Black
If they played this for convicted on death row while they're waiting for it during the last 3 minutes

Johnny Cash loved Shel Silversteins music
this reminds me of my strategy in most games
me : ill be stealthy until they see me then irts ''USSR national anthem begins to play as a joke'' not one step back
Gets suspended splits in eye goes home here comes the preacher to save my soul
Waiting until I can enter the exam-room.
_Game:_
Take a shot every time he voice-cracks
Be drunk as hell
2:10 *when puberty hits*
"With my feet in the trap and my head in the noose, five more minutes to go."
"WOULD SOMEBODY COME AND SET ME LOOSE?! Seven more minutes to go"
Windows XP has stopped working.
when it's 7:35 and your final is at 8:00
When you have a test you didn't study for
When you get Detention for the first time
This is me when I’m waiting for my top ramen to finish microwaving
JC Really mixed up his numbers after 9

What I find weird is we don't know what crime he commited
I was reading the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report when this song came on.
This should’ve been Johnnys fate on the highway men
Didn’t shel Silverstein write this one?
Well this sucks Johnny didn’t get out of Folsom r.i.p
went from 5 more minutes to 7 more minutes to go

When you write the F-word on the board and get sent to the office.
Would listen if I had 25 minutes to live
My theme song driving to work.
Johnny
Is Coo
When your waiting for the bell to ring on the last day of school
bruh what did he even do to deserve the death sentence
Me waiting for my dad to get home when I get in trouble
You can hear the scares in his voice.
Die hard cash fan never heard this song until a few days ago love it listen to it like 6 times a day
