“Ragged Old Flag” as performed by Johnny Cash with Choral Arrangement and Direction by Ben Bram, Shams Ahmed, Scott Hoying and the Americas Youth Choir. Aired during the Super Bowl LVII 🇺🇸 | Johnny Cash

"Ragged Old Flag" was written in 1974 while Cash was in Binghamton, New York and was inspired by the political turbulence resulting in Nixon’s impeachment and the Watergate Scandal. Although Cash had publicly supported Nixon's candidacy, he had started to question the wisdom of Nixon-era policies concerning the Vietnam War. He wrote Ragged Old Flag to "reaffirm faith in the country and the goodness of the American people." Listen: https://JohnnyCash.lnk.to/RaggedOldFlagAlbum | Johnny Cash
