carl perkins - blue suede shoes (at san quentin) lyrics

[intro: emcee & carl perkins]
jackson, tennessee to be with you tonight
back in nineteen hundred and fifty six, fifty+seven, and there abouts
he had one of the biggest songs of our time
a thing that he wrote and recorded, called “blue suede shoes”
since that time, he’s made himself quite famous in this world as one of the greater songwriters in our business
as you’ll see right here tonight, one of the finest guitar players evеr in this part of the country
and above all, i think a perfеct gentleman
i want you to make him real welcome
mr. carl perkins!
thank you very much, good evening and welcome to the johnny cash show
it’s a pleasure to be with you and we’ve kind of feel like you’re gonna enjoy yourselves tonight
it’s our wishes, so have fun and we’ll carry on
we gonna, kind of, this is what we call the warm+up
and as you all know, a little later on we’ll start filming
right now i’d like to do a song for you that in nineteen+fifty+six we recorded this one
a little slow love ballad that goes like this

[verse 1: carl perkins]
well, it’s one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
now go, cat, go
but don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
[verse 2: carl perkins]
you can knock me down
step in my face
slander my name
all over the place
do anything that you want to do, but uh+uh
baby, lay off of them shoes
and don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
oh, right

[guitar solo]

[verse 3: carl perkins]
yeah, you can burn my house
steal my car
drink my liquor
from an old fruit jar
do anything that you want to do
but uh+uh, fellas, lay off of them shoes
and don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
you can do anything but lay off of my cotton+pickin’ shoes
all, right

[guitar solo]
[verse 1: carl perkins]
yeah, it’s one for the money
now, two for the show
three to get ready
now go, cat, go
but don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

[outro]
yeah
blue, blue, a+blue suede shoes
blue, blue, a+blue suede shoes
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

[spoken outro: emcee]
thank you, thank you so very much
we had a mic difficulty, didn’t we?
i thought something was happening
