Stemming form the 'Casey's last ride' thread I went in search of other versions of the same song - and concluded that the best I have heard are Kristofferson's own and the version I first heard on Johnny Silvo's 'I'll fly away' album. KK has enough publicity so here is thread for Johnny :-)

Title track from the album.

Not exactly a folk song (Or should I not say that?) :-)

and

Classic Silvo

Any more links welcome.
