During the performance, which was released uncensored by <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> in 1968 (though other language is censored), Cash can be heard coughing occasionally; later in the concert recording, he can be heard noting that singing the song nearly did his voice in. </p><p>The song was also featured on Cash's 1960 Columbia album <i><a href="/wiki/Now,_There_Was_a_Song!" title="Now, There Was a Song!">Now, There Was a Song!</a></i> under the title "Transfusion Blues" substituting the line "took a shot of cocaine" with "took a transfusion" along with some other minor lyrical changes (and a tamer version of the climactic lyric "I can't forget the day I shot my woman down"). Cash later recorded "Cocaine Blues" for his 1979 album <i><a href="/wiki/Silver_(Johnny_Cash_album)" title="Silver (Johnny Cash album)">Silver</a></i>.
