letra:
Oh,
I wish I was in the land of cotton Old things they are not
forgotten Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
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
Glory, glory
hallelujah His truth is marching on His truth is marching on
Escrita
por Red West e Richard Mainegra, foi gravada por Elvis em 27 de março
de 1972 e lançada em novembro de 1972 em um compacto que tinha
Always on my mind como Lado B.
Ganhou
disco de ouro por venda de 500 mil cópias.
Elvis estava se
separando da esposa e preocupado com sua filha. A letra caiu como uma
luva.
A letra:
I see a change is
coming to our lives It's not the same as it used to be And it's
not too late to realise our mistake We're just not right for each
other
Love has slipped away
left us only friends We almost seem like strangers All that's
left between us are the memories we shared Of times we thought we
cared for each other
There's nothing left to
do but go our separate ways And pick up all the pieces left behind
us And maybe someday, somewhere along the way Another love will
find us
Some day when she's
older, maybe she will understand Why her mom and dad are not
together The tears that she will cry when I have to say
goodbye Will tear at my heart forever
There's nothing left to
do but go our separate ways And pick up all the pieces left behind
us And maybe someday, somewhere along the way Another love will
find us There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways

down the turnpike for New England Sweet New England
Holes in my
confidence Holes in the knees of my jeans I was left without a
penny in my pocket Ooo-Weee I was about destitute as a kid could
be And I wished I wore a ring so I could hock it I'd like to
hock it A young girl in a parking lot Was preaching to a
crowd Singing sacred songs and reading from the Bible Well, I
told her I was lost And she told me all about the Pentecost And
I seen that girl as the road to my survival I know, I know, I
know, I know, I know, I know Just later on the very same
night When I crept to her tent with a flashlight And my long
years of innocenece ended Well, she took me to the woods Saying
here comes something and it feels so good And just like a dog I
was befriended I was befriended Oh, oh, what a night, oh what a
garden of delight Even now that sweet memory lingers I was
playing my guitar Lying underneath the stars Just thanking the
Lord for my fingers For my fingers I know, I know, I know, I
know, I know, I know

down in New Orleans And all the folks back home, well, said I was
a fool They said, oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule

home, boy, you gotta tend the farm Living in the city, boy, is
going to break your heart But how can you stay when your heart
says no? How can you stop when your feet say go?
You better get back,
honky cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days

and someone Were down by the pond Looking for something To
plant in the lawn Out in the fields They were turning the
soil I'm sitting here hoping This water will boil When I
look through the windows And out on the road They're bringing
me presents And saying hello
Singing words,
words Between the lines of age Words, words Between the
lines of age
If I was a
junkman Selling you cars Washing your windows And shining
your stars Thinking your mind Was my own in a dream What
would you wonder And how would it seem? Living in castles A
bit at a time The king started laughing And talking in rhyme
Singing words,
words Between the lines of age Words, words Between the
lines of age

These
long lonely evenings Here I am on the phone Wondering if 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

remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun Holding
hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy, a place of my own
But the biggest kick I
ever got Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock While the
other kids were rocking round the clock We were hopping and
bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile rocking
is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I
never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh, lady,
mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight And
the Crocodile rocking was out of sight
But the years went by
and the rock just died Suzie went and left me for some foreign
guy Long nights crying by the record machine Dreaming of my
Chevy and old blue jeans
But they'll never kill
the thrills we've got Burning up to the Crocodile Rock Learning
fast as the weeks went past We really thought the Crocodile Rock
would last
Well, Crocodile rocking
is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I
never knew me a better time and I guess, I never will Oh, lady,
mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight And
the Crocodile rocking was out of sight

dancing in the flame Feel your mouth kissing me again What a
beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz What a beautiful buzz, what
a beautiful buzz Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz

Chamois
cleaning all the windows Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul And
I hear blue strains of no regredion Across the street from
Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San
Francisco We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend As
we sit upon this jagged Storey block, with you my friend
And it's a long way to
Buffalo It's a long way to Belfast city too And I'm hoping the
choice won't blow the hoist 'Cos this town, they bit off more than
they can chew
As we gaze out on, as
we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint
Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview Saint Dominic's preview
All the orange boxes
are scattered We get to Safeway's supermarket in the rain And
everybody feels so determined Not to feel anyone else's pain
You know that no one's
making no commitments To anybody but themselves Hidin' behind
closed doorways Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells
And for every
cross-cuttin' country corner For every Hank Williams railroad
train that cried And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems And
every strain on every brain and every eye [unverified]
As we gaze out on, as
we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint
Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview Saint Dominic's preview
And the restaurant
tables are completely covered The record company has paid out for
the wine You got everything in the world you ever wanted Right
about now your face should wear a smile
That's the way it all
should happen When you're in, when you're in the state you're
in You've got your pen and notebook ready I think it's about
time, time for us to begin
And we're over in a
52nd Street apartment Socializing with the whino few Just to be
hip and get wet with the jet set But they're flying too high to
see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as
we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint
Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview Saint Dominic's preview
See them freedom
marching Out on the street, freedom marching Saint Dominic's
