Does anyone have a lead to the uncensored version of Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue?"
Any help would be appreciated.

The most recent reissue of Live At San Quentin has it uncensored, as well as (I believe) the full concert.

What's different about the uncensored version?

A really annoying beep when he says "son of a bitch". It's not some subtle thing either, it's a loud as hell Jerry Springer type beep.

Really?
I never knew there was a censored version.
He's snucked a few bitches in other songs that went un-noticed (relatively).

Are we sure he actually sings "Son of a bitch"? I mean, "son of a bitch" would be the obvious phrase but the fact that it was bleeped always led me to assume that the offending word was far worse than just "bitch".
You see, this is what happens when swear words get censored...people always have good enough imaginations to assume that it's something far worse than it actually is.

Those of us who have heard the uncensored version are entirely sure.
