Proud Mary - Creedence (1969) (with lyrics)

1969



live 1970

(Lyrics)

Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

(Instrumental)

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

(Instrumental)

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Who'll stop the rain? Creedence (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down
Clouds of mystery pourin'
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages,
Tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain?

I went down Virginia,
Seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow
Five years plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain?

Heard the singers playin',
How we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together,
Tryin' to keep warm
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain?

Have you ever seen the rain? - Creedence (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say
It will rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down a sunny day

Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time

And forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down a sunny day

Yeaaaaah!

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down a sunny day

(Lyrics)

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you please

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby
My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you till eternally

So won't you please

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby
My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby

My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby

My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Byt the time I get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell (1967 live) (with lyrics)

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is an American pop song written by Jimmy Webb, originally recorded by Johnny Rivers, in 1965. It became famous by Glen Campbell, whose version reached 3 on the U.S. Pop charts in 1967. 





(Lyrics)

By the time I get to Phoenix 
She'll be rising

She'll find the note 

I left hangin' on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part 

That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque 

She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch 

And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone 

Keep on ringin' off the wall 

That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma 

She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly 

Call my name out loud
And she'll cry 

Just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time 

I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know 

I would really go.

She didn't know 
 I would really go

By the time I get to Phoenix - Johnny Rivers (1965) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

By the time I get to Phoenix 
She'll be risin'
She'll find the note
That I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch
And give me a call
She'll hear that empty phone
Keep on ringin' off the wall
That's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
And call my name out loud
She'll cry to think
That I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time again
I've tried to tell her so

She didn't know that I would really go

She just didn't know...

Romance - Johnny Rivers (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Hey, tell me tonight
Just how you've been living with him
Oh, you're my baby now
Nobody else, nobody else
Will do, like you

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

Blue, falling rain
I came undone, I came undone
So don't push me tonight
Taking it hard, taking it hard
And I might cry

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

(Instrumental)

Sweet smoke of love hear me
I want

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

Romance, give me a chance

(Instrumental)

Taking it hard, taking it hard

Summer rain - Johnny Rivers (1967 - 1968 live) (with lyrics)

 live 1968





(Lyrics)

Summer rain taps at my window
West wind soft as a sweet dream
My love warm as the sunshine
Sittin' here by me,
She's here by me

She stepped out of the rainbow
Golden hair shinin' like moon glow
Warm lips soft as a soul
Sitting here by me, yeah
She's here by me

All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand
And the jukebox kept on playin' 

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

We sailed into the sunset
Drifting home caught by a gulf stream
Never gave a thought for tomorrow
Just let tomorrow be, now
Let tomorrow be

(Instrumental)

She wants to live in the Rockies
She says that's where we'll find peace
Settle down, raise up a fam'ly
To call our own, yeah
We'll have a home

All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand
Everybody kept on playin' 

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

The snow drifts by my window
North wind blowin' like thunder
Our love's burnin' like fire
And she's here by me, yeah
She's here with me
Let tomorrow be

I need your lovin' - Johnny Rivers (1965 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby, I need your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear

Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Every night I call your name
Oh, sometimes I wonder, girl, 

Will I ever be the same?

When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see, baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby, I can't go on without you
This loneliness won't let me live without you
This emptiness inside me, baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Uh, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Swaying to the music - Johnny Rivers (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

It's late at night and we're all alone
Just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low

And we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
Shadows dancing now across the wall
Music is playing so soft and slow
Rest of the world so far away and small

And we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Hold me, oh, oh, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
So much love in this heart of mine
Whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Now we're 

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my, my, my, my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Oh, my, girl

When a man loves a woman - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

(Lights!)

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found

If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
He turns his back on his best friend 

If he puts her down

Yes, When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Yes, and sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

Well, this man loves the woman
(yes I do)
I give her everything I have
Trying to hold on to her kind of love
Why if she treat me bad?

When a man loves a woman
I´ve talked about it down deep in the soul
She can bring him such misery

If she´s playing  for a fool
He's the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes, when a man loves a woman
Oh, he spends his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Oh, that fool sleeps out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

(Instrumental)

When a man loves a woman
I need it down deep in the soul

It's too late - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and love you
And kiss you and keep you
Till my dying day

You just laughed
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And now you tell me
That your new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

Many days I tried to call you
Many nights I sat alone
Everyone knew that I loved you
But you had a love of your own

And now that he´s gone
You think you can come back to me
I´m not the same fool
That I used to be
And you´re gonna see

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late
To say you´re mine, 

ha, ha ,ha

ha, ha, ha

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and kiss you
And keep you, baby
Till my dying day

But you just laughed, ha
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And then you tell me
That this new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

It´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

(Lyrics)

There's a man who leads a life of danger.

To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.

With every move he makes another chance he takes.

Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find.

A pretty face can hide an evil mind.

Oh, be careful what you say,

Or you will give yourself away.

Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Swinging on the Riviera one day.

And then later in the Bombay Alan next day.

I know you let the wrong words slip,

While kissing persuasive lips.

The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Poor side of town - Johnny Rivers (1966 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you miss me?
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town

To him you were nothin', but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And, girl, it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up, baby
I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town

(So tell me how much you love me)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now)

Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

(Lyrics)

Do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

And do you wanna dance, girl, and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Love me, girl, all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?

Now, do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Yes, do you wanna dance I mean under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you ,do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?
Oh, do you wanna dance, oh, my girl,

Do you, wanna dance ?

Baby, do you wanna dance ? ye, ye

Do you wanna dance all night?
Do you wanna dance under the moolinght?

Save the last dance for me - Lennon and Nilsson (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand near the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me

Yes, I know that the music is fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me

Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
Baby, don't you know I'll never let you go?
I need you, oh, so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone, and it's time to go
And If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me
So darling... save the last dance for me

Everybody's talking - Harry Nilsson (1969 live) (with lyrics)

Theme from the movie "Midnight Cowboy"






(Lyrics)

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
I can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave
My love behind
No, I won't let you leave

Oh, oh...
I won't let you leave
My love behind

I won't let you leave

Without you - Harry Nilsson (1971) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know?

I can't live,
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

Well, I can't forget this evening
Nor your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

I can't live,
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

If living is without you

Mother, you had me, but I never had you

Goodbye, goodbye

Woman - John Lennon (with lyrics)

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt
And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please, remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well

Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

Jealous guy - John Lennon (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me anymore,
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

(whistling)

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was tryin' to catch your eye,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I'm just a jealous guy,
I'm just a jealous guy.

Stand by me - John Lennon (subtitled in spanish)(with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Oh, na na, stand by me,
Stand by me, stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
And the mountain should crumble to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by meWhenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh,  na na, stand by me,
Whoa stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Ih, stand by me,
Oh, Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Ih, na na stand by me,

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Imagine - John Lennon (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will live as one

Sylvia - Elvis Presley (1970) subtitled in portuguese (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering when she will call

She said she would write me
'Cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love, my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her, Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

That old weepin' willow
Seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away?
The tears on my pillow
They're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love, my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her, Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing in the world like Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

Moody blue - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

In Charlotte, February 21 1977.




(Lyrics)

Well, it's hard to be a gambler
Bettin' on the number
That changes ev'ry time
When you think you're gonna win
Think she's givin' in
A stranger's all you find
Yeah, it's hard to figure out
What she's all about
That she's a woman through and through
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby, moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Well, when Monday comes she's Tuesday,
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She's not the person that
I though I knew
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby, moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say
Which one is you.

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Let me tell you about moody blue

Something - Elvis Presley (1973 live) (with lyrics)

!970, rehersal






!973, From "Aloha from Hawaii"



(Lyrics)

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
All I gotta do is think about her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
All I gotta do is think about her
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Junho, 1972 live at Madson Square Garden, NY




Rehearsal - take 2

(Lyrics)

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', 

Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river

Been a lot of places down in Memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', 

Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry
'Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin',
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river ...

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

(When Christ shall come
With shout of aclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart)

Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim:
Oh, my God, how great thou art

Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

I was born about ten thousand years ago - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

In Studio, 1970, Nashville.




(Lyrics)

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
Yeah, There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Yeah, I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Uhnnn, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

ma ma ma ma ma ma... tan tan tan ...

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water...

It ain't no big thing, (but it's growing) - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

You're losing interest in me and it's showing
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowing
Well, it ain't no big thing, but it's growing

Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't know this
If I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
You're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
It ain't no big thing, but it's growing

(Instrumental)

Well, every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't know this
Well, if I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who's going
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showing
A little tear I can feel start to flow
Well, it ain't no big, thing but it's growing
No, it ain't no big thing, but it's growing

Mary in the morning - Elvis Presley (1970) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair

When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch it, I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes to love another day

And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share

If I'm a fool (for loving you) - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

They're saying I am just your clown
And any fool could see
That you're just having fun
And you're not in love with me
The things they're saying may be true,
But there's something they can't see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a dreamer, let me dream.
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem,
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind, it's because
I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a fool for loving you
Then that's just what I want to be...

I met her today - Elvis Presley (1961) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you

You'll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
I met her today

I used to think I just couldn't live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through

All at once I don't care as much for you
I'm sorry to say
For now there's another
I met her today

How I treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you needn't be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again

Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me an angel
I met her today
I met her today

Anything that's part of you - Elvis Presley (1961) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I memorize the note you sent
Go all the places that we went
I seem to search the whole day through
For anything that's part of you

I kept a ribbon from your hair
A breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when I'm blue
Anything that's part of you

Oh, how it hurts to miss you so
When I know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you
Knowing you don't need me

No reason left for me to live
What can I take, what can I give
When I'd give all of someone new
For anything that's part of you

Bringin' it back - Elvis Presley (1975) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

If I can never see you, if I can never hold you
If I can never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin', I still remember laughin'
I still remember lovin' a lot, yes touchin' you
Baby, I've not forgotten

But everything's bringing it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place for a familiar face just brings it all back
And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
Even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back

Thinkin' in my solitude, wonderin' about your attitude
Thinkin' maybe that your love has died
But there it is, I can see it in your eyes
A look of sweet surrender, but a touch of too much sadness
'Cause I've hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows
And you just can't stay, ohhh, but you can't let go

'Cause everything's bringin' it back, you know it's just bringin' it back
A familiar place for familiar face just brings it all back
And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
And even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back

And everything's bringin' it back, good songs bringin' it back
And even after so much time, you know everything's bringin' it back
Bringin' it back
Bringin' it back.

Bridge over troubled water - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

Live, 1970



Live in Greensboro, April 14th, 1972



(Lyrics)

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, 

I will dry them all
I'm on your side, 

Oh, when times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Ohhh, like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down,
Ohhh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, 

when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, 

I will comfort you
I'll take your part 

Ohhh! when darkness falls 

And pain is all around

Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Ohhh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind

Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Beyond the reef - Elvis Presley (1966) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone from me and my dreams grow cold
There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me, will she forget?

I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef

I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know, she'll come back again to me
Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef

Till then, my heart will be beyond the reef.

And the grass won't pay no mind - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind

Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Young birds flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No, the grass won't pay no mind

Sweet Caroline - Elvis Presley (1970 live) (with lyrics)

Live, Las Vegas Hilton, 1970



 Las Vegas, 1971






(Lyrics)

Where it began, I can't begin to know
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh,oh, oh, wasn't the spring,
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe that you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh,oh, oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh I've been inclined
To believe they never would
And now I,

I look at the night,
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Ohhh, warm, touching warm, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, oh, oh sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh, I've been inclined to believe they never would

Oh, oh, oh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good
Oh, oh, oh, I've been inclined to believe they never would, ohhhh

Blue Spanish eyes,

Only the strong survive - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

Recording studio






(Lyrics)

I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it 

Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out, 'cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees, 'cos only the strong survive
That's what she said: 

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,

Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown

There's a whole lot of girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh, but you'll never meet 'em, if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: 

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand

(boy...boy...oh, boy)

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cos only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive, only the strong survive 

Any day now - Elvis Presley (1969) (with lyrics)

Take 2,  in studio






(Lyrics)

Any day now 

I will hear you say

Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now 

I'll be all alone
Oh, oh, oh

Any day now, 

When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeah
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Don't fly away my beautiful bird

Any day now
...

Blue eyes crying in the rain - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

Recorded on February, 07th 1976, first released on "From Elvis Presley Boulevard"


(Lyrics)

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

(Instumental)

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain...

Solitaire - Elvis Presley (1976) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, through his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And deals them out again

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And deals them out again

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere 

He's playing solitaire
