I had no idea Johnny Cash ripped-off this song from Gordon Jenkins.

serious question…did you think he just banged out an entirely new (classic) song on the bus ride to the show that day?

Pretty sure Gordon Jenkins borrowed it from someone else, who used the tune before him.
Sounds like some W.C. Handy stuff to me. W.C. most likely heard it somewhere and knew how to write it down.

Stumbled upon the "Whole Lotta Folsom" mashup by the Surreal McCoys a few years back.
