Highwayman

~ Recording by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson

Annotation

The booklet for The Legend of Johnny Cash lists the phonographic copyright as being held by Sony BMG Music Entertainment rather than CBS Records; this seems to be reflecting the then-current name rather than the original.
