Marty Robbin’s version is like an episode of the Lone Ranger.
Cash’s version is like True Grit.

Marty Robbins version takes place while the Ranger is fighting Texas Red, Johnny Cash' version takes place years later as an old story being told

Imagine Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash singing this together? Marty singing the parts about The Ranger and Johnny singing the parts about Texas Red.

Cash takes Marty Robins and strips away the romanticism from it without changing any of the words. Amazing what a change of voice and a diffrent guitar. Less jangly upbeat triumphant and more someone tired of all the dirtiness in the world and warning people from it.
Andrew Riley
Marty Robbin's version is good for scouring the Mojave and killing deathclaws, this one fits Red Dead 2 much better, Johnny's ragged voice suits the last chapter of Arthur Morgan's tale.
Victor Barron
I liked this version for different reasons than I like Marty Robbins' original.
This one, like quite a few of Cash's songs (especially later on) has a mournful tone to it. The mental image that Robbins' song brought to mind a mysterious lawman who unexpectedly bested an infamous outlaw. But this one? The Ranger is...scary. I actually felt pity for Texas Red. The way the original song built him up as an infamous and skilled gunfighter that had killed twenty men despite being only twenty-four years old now seems like a way to drive in how unstoppable the Ranger truly was. Texas Red never had a chance, and he didn't even have the time to realize it. He died literally before he could even fully draw his pistol.
And...that was it. No jubilation among the townsfolk. He just left. He had his bounty. After all, he had just been after Texas Red.
After Texas Red...

And the biggest big iron can only be the 45-70. Gov. Revolver , And if you're not careful, it just might blow your head clean off, so there's just one question you have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well do ya' punk?

It's said war - war never changes.
Men do, through the roads they walk.
And this road - has reached it's end.
John Lennon 1940
This one brings about a much darker tone, as if the ranger was in actual danger, while the Marty Robins version made it seem like the ranger was sure to win, while this one sounds like the ranger could die.
Rufus T Firefly
As a Fallout fan, this has made me unexpectedly happy.
Joseph Kamata
This version should've been the credits theme of New Vegas. Reminiscing all the kickassery you did.
Melanie Mitchell
And so the courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings cheated death once again. And the Mojave wasteland was forever changed.

Marty Robbins: A John Wayne Epic about a virtuous lawman hunting down a depraved criminal and putting an end to his reign of terror.
Johnny Cash: An old soldier, wandering around in a world that doesn't understand or want him anymore, fighting one last fight against another stupid kid who wanted to make his name with some lead.
Chris Bardsley
This version is like an old soldier gearing up for one last gunfight. The overconfidence of youth is long behind him, but he knows what he must do- even if he’s not coming back from this one

I think my heart will always be somewhere in the Mojave.

Marty Robin's version: about the ranger when he was in his 20's
Johny Cash version: about the ranger when he was in his 60's
Edit: I just read this and thought wow, kinda of a cool comparison. Then I realized this is my comment that I wrote 6 months ago, wow.
