Private Presley |
The two room shotgun house |
The folks could hear her howls |
The cotton bed sheets blood, my son |
One less, when it’s all done |
Love me tender like what keeps you well |
My voice is back home while I’m in hell |
Who’s the ol' slew foot who took you from me |
Cried oh Private Presley, she swayed like the trees |
The bus line, people shout |
Reach out with my hand to these sidewalk crowds |
All of these faces, you can’t see, with me |
Just wanna go home, my river winds breeze |
Love me tender like what keeps you well |
My voice is back home while I’m in hell |
Who’s the ol' slew foot who took you from me |
Cried oh Private Presley, she swayed like the trees |
The Memphis sun still shone |
Tupelo’s air still filled my lungs |
Alone except my songs, you’re gone |
Just bring me with you love |
Love me tender like what keeps you well |
My voice is back home while I’m in hell |
Who’s the ol' slew foot who took you from me |
Cried oh Private Presley, she sways like the trees |
