General Lee Theme (Johny Cash)


There is a cool section of this movie if I am not mistaken, where the
General Lee races through various sets (inlcuding a black and white
civil war) while the song "The General Lee" (Johny Cash) is playing.

Anyone know if this is section of the move is intact on the release
or on the Internet for viewing again?

Thanks

wrong movie, that was in the second reunion movie. I picked up a copy on DVD on ebay a while back, and that scene is in it... although I don't remember the johnny cash song playing durring that, but it has been a while since I've seen it

I dont believe a Dukes episode featured that song.The song made its TV debut on a CBS special "Ballads of Heroes" or something like that.Here they made a video featuring General Lee exploits while the song played.It was played live by Johnny Cash.He recieved a good ovation when he was done.The song was first heard on the Offical Dukes of Hazzard album/audio tape.This album was re-released in timing with the first reunion movie.
Why this ballad has not gained more attention over the past 25+ years is beyond me.
