cash 263x300 Five Year Old Does Johnny Cash JusticeIs there something wrong with me that I feel nothing but delight to hear this adorable, long-haired boy with just the slightest hint of an endearing Elmer Fudd lisp sing lyrics like, “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die”?

If there is, I don’t want to know what it is. After you check out little Wesley singing the Folsom Prison Blues at a coffee shop in Seattle, I think you’ll agree that this is far too awesome to be inappropriate. Thanks, Buzzfeed! And for even greater viewing pleasure, check out Brett Singer’s compare-and-contrast versions of Wesley and the real Cash in all his glory.
