New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Carl Perkins Wears The Crown lyrics

Falzarano Now they say that Elvis is the king of rock and roll And James Brown is the godfather of soul And Bob Wills is the king of Texas swing You talk about Chicago blues, Muddy Waters wears the ring But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound Carl Perkins wears the crown They say that old Hank done it his way And nobody sang them blues like Billy Holiday You know they say that Jimi, well he could kiss the sky Still no ones got the fire like Buddy Guy But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound Carl Perkins wears the crown Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and George Jones Roy Orbison, Woody Guthrie, The Beatles and The Stones Garcia, Jerry Lee and Professor Longhair You look at the top of the greatest ever list and they'll all be there But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound Carl Perkins wears the crown Carl Perkins wears the crown Carl Perkins wears the crown I'm just sitting here wondering Would a matchbox hold my clothes? Put Your Cat Clothes On Let's go Bopping the Blues You wear your Pink Pedal Pushers I'll wear my Blue Suede Shoes And we'll get gone, gone ,gone gone, gone, gone Carl Perkins wears the crown Carl Perkins wears the crown
