Flowers on the Wall (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: Carl Perkins & Don Reid] Right now I'd like to introduce to you four young men who every once in a while a group or an individual comes along in our profession, goes to the top and remains right there. This happened to these four youngsters, and I know I'm speaking for my friend John Cash when we say that, mighty proud to have 'em a big part of the Johnny Cash Show. You know 'em, and let's make 'em welcome, The Statler Brothers, Harold, Lew, Don and Phil, the Statlers! Thank you very much. We're glad to see all of you tonight. We drеssed up all alike, I see y'all dressеd alike too. But we wanna, we hope you're gonna enjoy the show. We do want to tell you a little something before we go anything further. We will be filming some of the show tonight and we'll also be recording some of it. Just like that, and so, uh, any kind of noise that you wanna make it'll be just, be yourself, be at home, and, uh, we wanna do a few songs we hope you like, we're gonna get on with the show, the Carter Family's yet to come out, and of course Johnny Cash we'll be out and that's when the filming and recording starts. We wanna do one song and then we'll get off and get things going [Verse 1] I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness But all the thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you and your friends are worrying about me I'm having lots of fun [Chorus] Counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothing to do [Verse 2] Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town As long as I can dream, it's hard to slow this swinger down So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine You can always find me here and having quite a time [Chorus] Counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothing to do [Verse 3] It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete [Chorus] Counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothing to do Don't tell me I've nothing to do [Outro] Don't tell me I've nothing to do Woah-hey, thank you! Thank you very much, thank you Thank you very much, we do appreciate it
