Hefty quantities of tape echo accompany George's only solo lead vocal on Beatles For Sale , somewhat swapping his faithful cover version of this 1958 self-composed Carl Perkins song. All of the Beatles, but George in particular, were keen admirers of Perkins' rockabilly music, recording the aforementioned Honey Don't and Matchbox and this song in the space of just four months. The group had burrowed extensively from Perkin's song catalogue in their pre-fame stage repertoire, performing these three songs as well as, among others Blue Suede Shoes, Lend Me Your Comb, Sure To Fall (In Love With You), Tennessee, Your True Love, Glad All Over, and Gone, Gone, Gone.
