    i assume it is referencing ol' satan hisself.

    and yes, you are also correct that it is from a johnny cash lyric. though he didn't write it.

    it is a traditional folk / gospel song, and has been recorded by quite a few artists.

    cash arranged it differently than it is traditionally known with a very sparse and rhythmic stomp / clap. it seems much less about revival and celebration as you would expect from this type of song. instead it has a very pessimistic and brooding quality.

    as it was released after his death, the video features many artists lip-synching in black and white. it's a simple, striking concept to match the simple yet striking arrangement.
