You gave me a mountain - Elvis Presley (1972, 1973, 1977 live) (with lyrics)

"Elvis On Tour", 1972



"Aloha from Hawaii", 1973



"Elvis in Concert", 1977


(Lyrics)

Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
But I've climbed them all one by one

Oh, but this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain, I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy


Oh, and this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain, I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time 
You gave me a mountain this time
A mountain this time, oh oh oh  

An american trilogy - Elvis Presley (1972 live) (with lyrics)




From the show "Aloha from Hawaii", 1973



(Lyrics)


Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
(sing fellows)

(Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie)

Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, will soon be over


(Instrumental)

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on 

Always on my mind - Elvis Presley (1972) (subtitled in turkish) (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind


You were always on my mind


Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times...

Marguerita - Elvis Presley (1963) (with lyrics)

From the movie "Fun in Acapulco", 1963, with Elvis and Ursula Andress.



(Lyrics)

Who makes my heart beat like thunder?
Who makes my temperature rise?
Who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture
With one burning glance, from her eyes?

Marguerita

Once I was free as a gypsy
A creature too wild to tame
Then suddenly I saw, Marguerita
And I was caught, like a moth in the flame

Marguerita is her name

Marguerita

Her lips have made me her prisoner
A slave to her every command
She captivates me, and intoxicates me
With one little touch of her hand

Marguerita

Sweet Marguerita
Sweet, sweet Marguerita

Guadalajara - Elvis Presley (1963) (with lyrics)

From the movie "Fun in Acapulco", 1963



(Lyrics)

Guadalajara, Guadalajara...
Guadalajara, Guadalajara

Tienes el alma de provinciana
Hueles a limpio a rosa temprana

Ave de jara fresca del rio
Son mil palomos to case rio
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Sabes a pura tierra mojada

(Ay ja ja, ay, ja ja,ja! ja, ja..Ay!! ja ja)

Ay, ja, ja, ja! colomitos lejanos, aj! ojitos de agua hermanos

Ay colomitos inolvidables, inolvidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia, desde la loma, ir nos hacia, hasta Zapopam

Ay, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja! misermano..Ay-ja-ja...Mexicano...

Ay colomitos inolvidables, inolvidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia, des de la loma, ir nos hacia, hasta Zapopam


(Ay ja ja, ay, ja ja, ja! ja, ja..Ay!! ja ja) 

Guadalajara, Guadalajara...Guadalajara..Guadalajara
