Elvis Presley Blues

Lyrics

I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 Just a country boy that combed his hair
 Put on the shirt his mother made
 And he went on the air
 And he shook it like a chorus girl
 And he shook it like a Harlem queen
 He shook it like a midnight rambler baby
 Like you never seen
 Like you never seen
 Never seen
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 That he took it all out of black and white
 Grabbed it in one then the other hand
 And he held on tight
 And he shook it like a hurricane
 He shook it like to make it break
 And he shook it like a holy roller baby
 With his soul at stake
 With his soul at stake
 Soul at stake
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 He was all alone in the long decline
 Thinking how happy John Henry was
 That he fell down dying
 When he shook it and it rang like silver
 He shook it and it shined like gold
 He shook it and he beat that steam drill baby
 Well a bless my soul
 Well a bless my soul
 He shook it and he beat that steam drill baby
 Well bless my soul what's wrong with me
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 I was thinking that night about Elvis
 Day that he died
 Day that he died
 Just a country boy that combed his hair
 Put on the shirt his mother made
 And he went on the air
 And he shook it like a chorus girl
 And he shook it like a Harlem queen
 He shook it like a midnight rambler baby
 Like you never seen
 Never seen
 Like you never seen
 Never seen
