 Johnny Cash!
 Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three!
 Carl Perkins! The Carter family!
 The Statler Brothers! The fabulous Johnny Cash!
 It's good to be with you. June said she knew there'd be some people from the South here tonight.
 Because some of you guys get out here in California. The [bleep]ing place is so crazy,
 you just gotta get something to eat someway, don't ya? That's right, ha ha ha. I'm glad to see you again.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1.) "Wanted Man"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    
 Wanted man in California, wanted man in Buffalo
 Wanted man in Kansas City, wanted man in Ohio
 Wanted man in Mississippi, wanted man in old Cheyenne
 Wherever you might look tonight, you might see this wanted man
 I might be in Colorado, or Georgia by the sea,
 Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be
 If you ever see me coming and if you know who I am
 Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lam
 Wanted man by Lucy Watson, wanted man by Jeannie Brown
 Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this Tex town
 Well, I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I've had
 And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad
 Da da da...
    
    
    
 I got sidetracked in El Paso, stopped to get myself a map
 Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap
 Then I went to... ha ha
 Then I went to sleep in Shreveport, woke up in Abilene
 Wondering why the hell I'm wanted at some town half way between
 Wanted man in Albuquerque, wanted man in Syracuse
 Wanted man in Tallahassee, wanted man in Baton Rouge
 There's somebody set to grab me anywhere that I might be
 And wherever you might look tonight, you might get a glimpse of me
 Wanted man in California, wanted man in Buffalo
 Wanted man in Kansas City, wanted man in Ohio
 Wanted man in Mississippi, wanted man in old Cheyenne...
    
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Thank you very much.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 2.) "Wreck of the Old 97"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
 Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
 Said "Steve, you're way behind time
 This is not 38, this is Old 97
 Put her into Spencer on time
 Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman
 "Shovel on a little more coal
 And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
 Watch Old 97 roll"
    
 Woo woo!
 And then a telegram come from Washington station
 This is how it read,
 "Well, that brave engineer that run Old 97
 He's lyin' in ol' Danville dead
 'cause he was goin' down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour
 The whistle broke into a scream
 He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
 Scalded to death by the steam", one more time!
 Woo! Woo woo!
    
 So now, all you ladies you better take a warnin'
 From this time on and learn
 Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband
 He may leave you and never return
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I want to thank you. Yeah, it's good to see you.
 You know, we've been on tour for about a week now, after our last recording session.
 And... they say old Johnny Cash works good under pressure.
 Put the screws on me and I'mma screw right out from under you, that's what I'm gonna do though.
 You know that? Tired of all that [bleep]. Yeah. Alright!
 I tell you what, the show is being recorded and televised for... England.
 And uh... they said, they told me, they said uh...
 They said, uh, "You gotta do this song, you gotta do that song."
 You know, "You gotta stand like this or act like this." I just don't get it, man, you know? I'm here...
 I'm here to do what you want me to and what I wanna do, right? OK? Yeah.
 So, what do you wanna hear?
 Alright, alright, "I Walk the Line"!
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 3.) "I Walk the Line"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
 I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
 I keep my eyes wide open all the time
 I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
 Because you're mine, I walk the line
    
 I find it very, very easy to be true
 I find myself alone when each day is through
 Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
 Because you're mine, I walk the line
    
 As sure as night is dark and day is light
 I keep you on my mind both day and night
 And happiness I've known proves that it's right
 Because you're mine, I walk the line
    
 You've got a way to keep me on your side
 You give me cause for love that I can't hide
 For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
 Because you're mine, I walk the line
    
 I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
 I keep my eyes wide open all the time
 I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
 Because you're mine, I walk the line
    
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 What's that? Hey, what are you guys drinking in those tall purple glasses?
 What is that rotting guts something? Tea?
 Hey, a little bit later on in the show,
 I'mma do ya a brand new song that I wrote yesterday called "San Quentin".
 I'd like to ask my wife, June Carter, to come back. Come here, June!
 Hey, I wonder... I wonder, can we get Carl Perkins out to help us with this tune, too?
 You know, I've been singing this song, our version of a John Sebastian song, "Darlin' Companion".
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 4.) "Darlin' Companion"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
 Darlin’ companion, come on and give me understandin'
 And let me be your champion, a hand to hold your pretty hand in
 Darlin’ companion, now you know you'll never be abandoned
 Love will always light our landin', I can depend on you
 Oh, a little saucy mare like you should have a steed
 Oh, a little bridlin' down from you is what I need
 Darlin’ companion, now you know you'll never be abandoned
 Love will always light our landin', I can depend on you
    
    
 Darlin’ companion, come on and give me understandin'
 As long as we keep laughin', bear in mind, just what could happen
 Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons
 Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you
 Oh, a little saucy mare like you should have a steed
 Oh, a little bridlin' down from you is what I need
 Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons
 Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you
 Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons
 Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you
    
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Thank you very much. I have to set down for... OK, we'll... We'll do that for you, just a minute. Thank you.
 I thought my guitar was outta tune there at first. You sorry son-of-a... It is out of tune.
 Is that right? Terry, is that right? Well, you tune the [bleep]. Terry...
 Got all kinds of songs, here's one called "A Boy Named Sue".
 You wanna hear that one? You wanna hear "The Boy Named Sue"?
 I do too, I'm anxious to hear it. I don't know how it's gonna sound, I'm anxious to hear it.
 Does that block your camera view right there, is that alright? You want me to leave it there?
 Just gonna put it there then. Put it right... Where is my guitar? Oh, here it is.
 We're sorry to say that, uh, Luther passed away seven months ago.
 After being with us for 13 years, Luther Perkins. And, um... How about one big cheer for Luther Perkins?
 Yeah, I had a song called "San Quentin" that I was gonna do. Where's my...
 Hey, in my... kid, back in there where I got all my dope, I mean, where I got all my things.
 There's a... hahaha, there's a... there's a little red notebook back there
 Will somebody... would one of the guards bring it to me? Somebody bring it to me
 Bring me the red notebook, and I will, uh... Hey, that... that briefcase back there of mine,
 You know, that's got all the songs I stole in it? Yeah, huh... alright.
 Wrote a song yesterday, I tried, it takes a lot of imagination sometimes to write a song.
 And to really, really put something into it where somebody else can understand it and feel it.
 But we've been in several prisons, San Quentin and Folsom Prison
 And the Starkville, Mississippi Jail. And uh...
 You wouldn't believe it, one night I got in jail in Starkville, Mississippi for picking flowers.
 I was walking down the street, I may sing that one for you a little bit later on.
 I was walking down the street, what? 'scuse me, I couldn't hear you, I was talking.
 I was walking down the street, and uh... you know, going to get me some cigarettes or something.
 About 2 o'clock in the morning after a show, I think it was.
 Anyway, I reached down and picked a dandelion here and a daisy there as I went along and...
 This car pulls up, says, "Get in here, boy. What are you doing?" Said, "I was just picking flowers." You know?
 36 dollars for picking flowers and a night in jail. You can't hardly win, can ya?
 No telling what they'd do if you'd pull an apple or something.
 Well, I would like to do this song on behalf of all you guys here in San Quentin
 To kinda get back at whoever you want to out there.
 In my case, I'd like to get back at the fella down in Starkville, Mississippi who still has my 36 dollars.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 5.) "Starkville City Jail"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel,
 The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well
 I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees
 I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze
 I found myself surrounded; one policeman said, "That's him.
 Come along, wild flowerchild, don't you know that it's two a.m.?"
    
 They're bound to get you
 'cause they got a curfew
 And you go to the Starkville City Jail
 Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town
 I said, "What the hell did I do?" and he said, "Shut up and sit down."
 Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks
 I said, "Wait, my name is..." "Aw, shut up." Well, I sure was in a fix
 The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night
 I said, "Come back here, you so-and-so, I ain't bein' treated right."
    
 Well, they're bound to get you
 'cause they got a curfew
 And you go to the Starkville City Jail
 I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell
 And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel door of my cell
 I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came
 Then I sadly remembered they didn't even take my name
 At 8 a.m., they let me out, I said, "Gimme them things of mine!"
 They give me a sneer and a guitar pick and a yeller dandelion
    
 They're bound to get you
 'cause they got a curfew
 And you go to the Starkville City Jail
 And you go to the Starkville City Jail
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 And I was thinking about you guys yesterday, and I'd been here three times before. And...
 I think I understand a little bit how you feel about some things. It's none of my business how you feel
 about some other things and I don't give a damn how you feel about some of the things, but anyway...
 I tried to put myself in your place, and I believe this is the way that I would feel about San Quentin.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 6.) "San Quentin"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    
 San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
 You've blistered me since 1963
 I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen 'em die
 And long ago I stopped askin' why
 San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
 You've cut me and you scarred me through and through
 And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man
 Mister Congressman, you can't understand
    
    
    
    
    
 San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
 Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
 You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul
 Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
 San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell
 May your walls fall and may I live to tell
 May all the world forget you ever stood
 And may all the world regret you did no good
 San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Thank you very much. One more time? Alright. Alright. Hey, before we do it though, if uh...
 if any of the guards are still speaking to me, could I have a glass of water?
 Here it is again, "San Quentin", just for you.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 7.) "San Quentin (Reprise)"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    
 San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
 You've galled at me since 1963
 I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen 'em die
 And long ago I stopped askin' why
 San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
 You've cut me and you've scarred me through and through
 And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man
 Mister Congressman, why can't you understand?
    
    
    
    
    
 San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
 Do you think that I'll be different when you're through?
 You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul
 Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
 San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell
 May your walls fall and may I live to tell
 May all the world forget you ever stood
 And the whole world will regret you did no good
 San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Thank you. Alright, we'll do it again after awhile.
 Before we go tonight, we'll probably do it again.
 I got- I kinda like it myself now.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 8.) "A Boy Named Sue"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
 Well, my daddy left home when I was three and he didn't leave much to ma and me
 Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
 Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid, but the meanest thing that he ever did
 Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
 Well, he must've thought that was quite a joke and it got a lot of laughs from a-lots of folks
 It seems I had to fight my whole life through
 Some gal would giggle and I'd get red and some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
 I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
 Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, my fists got hard and my wits got keen
 I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame
 But I made me a vow to the moon and stars that I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
 And kill that man who give me that awful name
 Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July and I just hit town and my throat was dry
 I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
 At an old saloon on a street of mud, there at a table, dealing stud
 Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
 Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad from a worn-out picture that my mother'd had
 And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
 He was big and bent and gray and old and I looked at him and my blood ran cold
 And I said, "My name is Sue! How do you do?! Now you gonna die!!"
 Yeah, that's what I told him
 Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes and he went down, but to my surprise
 He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
 But I busted a chair right across his teeth and we crashed through the wall and into the street
 Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
 I tell ya, I've fought tougher men, but I really can't remember when
 He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
 I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss and he went for his gun and I pulled mine first
 He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
 And he said, "Son, this world is rough and if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
 And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along
 So I give you that name and I said goodbye, I knew you'd have to get tough or die
 And it's that name that helped to make you strong", yeah
 He said, "Now, you just fought one hell of a fight and I know you hate me, and you got the right
 To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
 But ya ought to thank me, before I die, for the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
 'cause I'm the [bleep] that named you Sue
 Yeah, what could I do? What could I do?
 I got all choked up and I threw down my gun and I called him my pa, and he called me his son
 And I came away with a different point of view
 And I think about him now and then, every time I try and every time I win
 [ch]E[/ch] N.C.
 And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him...
 Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Alright, thank you very much.
 Just before we ask the Statler Brothers to come back out,
 We'd like to ask the Carter family and Carl to help us on a fine spiritual
 That we got a lot of requests to do, "Peace in the Valley".
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 9.) "(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley"
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
 Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go alone
 'til the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
 And the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light
 And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
    
 There will be peace in the valley for me some day
 There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I pray
 There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
 There will be peace in the valley for me
 Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
 And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
 And the beast from the wild will be led by a child
 And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
    
 There will be peace in the valley for me some day
 There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I pray
 There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
 There will be peace in the valley for me
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 We want to thank the officials of San Quentin. All the guards here for helping us out.
 The warden, and everyone of ya. Appreciate it. [crowd boos] Aw, you don't really mean that, now.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 10.) "Folsom Prison Blues"

 I want to thank you for being so good to us.
 I'd like to say a special hello to all the men here at the prison that are not with us tonight.
 That they couldn't find a key to the door or something.
 They couldn't let a bunch of 'em out here.
 I wish every one of you could've been out here with us. All you guys...
 Understand they're piping the show into your cells or somewhere
 That uh, supposed to be listening, maybe.
 It's not closed circuit television that you have in here, is it? No...
 Anyway, hello to all you fellas that can't see the show tonight.
 We wish you could all've been here.
 We have had a ball, have we not?
 Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
 I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
 Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
 And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
