Having owned recordings of three versions of “Shake, Rattle, and Roll”,I had always known that Bill Haley “cleaned up” Joe Turner’s song. The cleanup included changing the following lines :
“Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
I can’t believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you”
being changed to
“Wearing those dresses, your hair done up so nice
You look real warm but you heart is cold as ice”
and changing
"tell you ain’t no child no more to:
“tell you don’t love me no more” .
Elvis Presley (the third person to record the song) hit a middle ground, keeping Turner’s “no child” line, but using Haley’s replacement lines about the dresses.
If the “one eyed cat” lines refer to what you think, I guess it whooshed the re-writers. Whooshed me too, until you just now pointed it out.
Considering the rest of the song, you’re probably right, samclem. Good job!
