Johnny Cash also covered this song. I heard him say in an interview that he thought it was going to be a big hit for him, but instead it was a flop.
Lightfoot obviously thought this song was great or else he wouldn't have covered it; we all know it's a rarity when he does such things.
Interesting knowing both men's thoughts on this song and yet fans of both are not too impressed with either version. I love the song though!!
