Cash, Johnny - Take Me Home Lyrics






Well I've been from Boston to LA seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
I seen New York City and Washington
Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan and Rhode Island
And I've worked in three all night service stations and I drove a truck

Take me home my heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home I don't wanna roam no more

Well I slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough
Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold and a sore throat
Not to mention all the times that I cut my fingers on a sardine can

Take me home my heart is heavy...

Well I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' round
Mama's supper table when the sun goes down
And my good old pappy when the blessing is said
Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas and all that stuff and side meat
And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's hot buttered cornbread

Take me home my heart is heavy...
Take me home my heart is heavy...

    Cash must be embarrassed in the presence of a real singer

  6. T.... P....

    It doesn't get any better than this. Cash & Denver together is golden.

  7. d.... ....

    Only Cash could do this song justice in a duo. Musical greatness.

  8. P.... D....

    Ghost riders

  9. G.... S....

    This song gives me a lump in my throat.

  10. J.... B....

    Shout out to that random Grandfather who recorded this on VHS. This would've been lost had it not been for him

  11. M.... P....

    Lindo!Maravilhosos!

    This is good. This is REALLY GOOD

  19. T.... K....

    "Ok, This is good enough for now. Let's run it through on camera and get the lighting and blocking right."

    40 years later: YouTube recommends.

  21. J.... D....

    How embarrassing for Johnny.

  22. j.... j....

    My dog doesn't deserve to be subjected to this excruciating collaboration. Their harmonizing is atrocious.

  23. J.... W....

    Nah fuck off, this is something else. Wow👏

  24. Y.... L....

    This should be in library of Congress

  25. G.... D....

    true story, my part-time co-worker in st louis (about 74 years old) was a part time professional photographer. anyway my co-worker was camping in Colorado and did not realize he was on private property and John Denver rode up on a horse and informed them they were on private property but quickly realized it was an honest mistake because a fence was down. Mr Denver then joined my co-worker and family around the campfire for breakfast and hung out with them, and he learned my co-worker was also a photographer. 20 years later, John Denver had an event in St. Louis and he remembered the name of my co-worker and called him to do a photo session for the event. What class to be down to earth and then recall my co-workers name 20 years later.

  26. T.... B....

    F for these two legends

  27. B.... ....

    the tree and the mountain signing together

  28. M.... D....

    Very Good .. moment históric ..two legends. .Manaus. Amazonas. Brazil. .

  29. P.... C....

    John Denver, What an immense voice and true musician. Would teach the Ed Sherans and beyonces of today a thing or two!! RIP Legend you are missed. Also RIP Johnny Cash.

  30. B.... F....

    Love both of these guys but Denver's Voice is light years ahead of Cash.

  31. D.... C....

    Lindos ♥️

  32. 1.... ....

    Awesome! I love real music. Is the musical world ever going to have talent like these two ever again?

  33. D.... S....

    Cash is epic.

  34. r.... m....

    two legends

  35. E.... s....

    In 2020 legends!

  36. T.... ....

    My voice is down in the register of Johnny Cash. With the critical difference that I can't friggen _sing!_ 😡 Ha ha! Love hearing these two masters playing together. That was so nice. Thanks!

  37. J.... J....

    Heard this song a million times before, greatest rendition ever!

  38. G.... D....

    Wow! The comments to this video are so wholesome!

  39. P.... J....

    Pure Magic

  40. G.... L....

    Their voices are several keys apart. But they are wonderful voices. Lovely!

    G.... L....

    But Denver is competently harmonizing with Cash.

  41. v.... ....

    Johnny Cash.... if his voice doesn’t touch your heart, I don’t know what will. There should be a photo of him next to the word “authentic”.

  42. A.... S....

    John & Johnny! Beautiful duet! Thanks for uploading! :-)

  43. M.... S....

    Denver played such a great guitar . Often singer songwriters don’t get the instrumental credit they deserve . Jim Croce and James Taylor both great acoustic players .

  44. C.... L....

    Wow! Love you John and Johnnie ❤️

  45. J.... M....

    Really wish this could be released in a record or something

  46. T.... ....

    classic song two classic legends r i p

  47. M.... H....

    Thanks from Ireland, an amazing video, the contrasts were magical.

  48. o.... s....

    This is why I pay for internet.❤️

  49. J.... A....

    Im so.pumped I didn't know they did this

  50. I.... D....

    People actually listen n like this crap

  51. P.... M....

    Two Giants and a wonderful song... An ordinary afternoon.

  52. C.... C....

    It's like watching the Ying and Yang symbol start a band.

  53. S.... J....

    Denver spoilt the whole thing by singing out of tune. Some may call it 'harmony', but in this case it was inappropriate, just trying to show off, and it backfired. He was a good songwriter though, but all of his compositions have been bettered by other vocalists.

  54. R.... U....

    Two legends. Too bad they are gone. RIP

  55. H.... R....

    Jokers.

  56. G.... R....

    Magnífico ❤❤❤

  57. T.... P....

    Beautiful!

  58. B.... W....

    I wish we'd never lost John Denver.

  59. M.... P....

    I miss both of these guys so much.

  60. C.... F....

    As much as like JC - JD was a great Singer songwriter

  61. M.... M....

    Have. Not been home 20 years

  62. S.... H....

    Epic! Just fucking Epic!!!!

  63. N.... O....

    Loved that harmony! So cool

  64. T.... A....

    I miss them both immensely
    I hope they are pleasing everyone in heaven as much as they did here

  65. J.... A....

    Wow. Can you imagine hanging out your washing, or tidying up the yard, and looking over your fence to see that..

  66. 1.... ....

    This is Priceless! Thanks for sharing. 🎼🤗💖✝️🎤🎸

  67. M.... H....

    The two Johnnie's how awesome . May you both rest in peace !

  68. J.... H....

    Great combination of contrasting voices. Too bad there isn’t a better quality recording but thanks anyhow!

  69. B.... H....

    John's voice was so effortless. Listen how easily he sings harmonies. He could sing anything

    B.... H....

    Cash knelt before Elvis Presley, his king, and pledged allegiance to his sovereign

  70. M.... ....

    WHO THE HELL ARE THE DISLIKES ?

  71. K.... ....

    Can't believe it's 2020, and I've never missed them more.

  72. p.... ....

    A concert scheduled in heaven dates yet to be disclosed....

  73. I.... ....

    Johnny Cash's voice is only suited to certain songs - and he's awesome! But this one just doesn't work for him at all. John Denver went the extra mile in the harmony to try and blend with JC. It helped - but only on the harmony. But hey - this is just "my" opinion. If others enjoyed this duet- then awesome! Each to his or her own. If we were all alike in everything, then the world would be a boring place.

  74. K.... ....

    God damn! This gave me chills.

  75. J.... D....

    250 people dislike this video of two of Americas greatest country singers ever! What is wrong with these people! Most likely they are a bunch of DEMONCRATS-LIBERAL-MILLENNIAL-SJWS who knows no other songs but those being shouted at them by those so called artist that like to twerk or something. Really, those who dislike a good old song like Country Roads or John Denver and specially Johnny Cash should have their heads examined if they have a BRAIN to begin with! God Bless America. Make America Great Again!

  76. �.... ....

    I miss John Denver.

  77. V.... R....

    I have no idea why people are surprised that John Denver would sit back and sing harmony! It’s a dream come true for a writer to have a legend singing your song!!

  78. I.... S....

    Great memory

  79. r.... d....

    Great song two legends

  80. B.... K....

    Classy couple of dudes there! R.I.P..... you're well remembered.

  81. J.... .....

    John Denver sounds like shit

  82. A.... S....

    2020 blessings 👐

  83. V.... B....

    two of the greatest singers WOW just great

  84. S.... G....

    I can truthfully say I never seen that !

  85. G.... I....

    Another song ruined by the late unbelievably over rated Johnny Trash

  86. J.... F....

    Moments like these make life worth living.

  87. C.... M....

    Two very different vocal styles working so well together.   Just love the classics, the songs and the artists.

  88. B.... J....

    I have not ever been to West Virginia but it must be a great and proud place! It would not deserve a song and a duet like that otherwise.

  93. b.... S....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  94. m.... ....

    Two of the greats! They're singing for God now.

  95. J.... R....

  97. J.... D....
