Elvis Presley : Raised on Rock
歌词
1. Raised On Rock
(Mark James)
I remember as a child I used to hear
Music that they played Lord with a feel'
Some call it folk, some call it soul
People let me tell you it was rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Ev'ry day when I got home I turned on my radio
Listening to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
From Honky Tonk to Hound Dog, Johnny B. Goode
And Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat of a thing called rock and roll
Some thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation knew it would last
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
But ev'ry time I hear it Lord it takes me home
Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
Mozart's Sonatas down the classical list
My papa loved to listen to those country songs
While I was in the back room rockin' on
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
2. Are You Sincere?
(Wayne Walker)
Are you sincere when you say, "I love you"?
Are you sincere when you say you love me too?
And are you really mine ev'ry day, all the time?
I've gotta know which way to go
Will our love grow, are you sincere?
Mmmmm
(parlé)
Are you sincere when you say, "I love you"?
Honey, are you sincere when you say you love me too?
And are you really mine every day, all the time?
I've gotta know which way to go
Will our love grow, are you sincere?
(Are you sincere)
3. Find Out What's Happening
(J. Crutchfield)
Baby you know me well
You know I mean what I say
Before I say farewell
I'll give you just another day
You better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long, Oh yeh
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I've gone now, Oh yeh
Tell me what you're gonna do
You better make up your mind
It all depends on you
I'm leavin' you behind
Baby you know it's true
We've been through thick and thin
But if you don't come through
You won't ever see me again
You better find, better find
You better find out
You better find out , you better find
You better find out , you better find, before long
If you don't find, hmm, you're gonna find out that I'm gone now ......
4. I Miss You
(Don H. Sumner)
Still I recall all the good times together
The love we shared, the fun and the laughter
How I wish you could feel what my heart says tonight dear
I miss you and I wish you were here
Dreams that I had they lay broken in sorrow
The plans I made my hopes for tomorrow
If I could I would tell you I'm lonesome tonight dear
Oh I miss you and I wish you were here
All through the night I will see memories passing
The way you looked the sound of your laughing
How I long for the touch of your hand holding mine dear
Oh I miss you and I wish you were here
Lord, I miss you and I wish you were here
5. Girl Of Mine
(L. Reed / B. Mason)
When you're asleep beside me, I watch you lying there
Your hand upon the pillow and moonlight in your hair
I get the warmest feeling, so good I almost cry
I kiss your sleeping lips and say I'll love you 'till I die
Oh girl of mine you make my day
One sunny smile and all the clouds just roll away
Eyes deep as the sea seem to say to me
Our love will always be
So girl of mine turn out the light
And in my arms together we'll make sweet love tonight
Down life's golden road and you'll always know
I love you ... girl of mine
Sometimes I know I hurt you when things ain't goin' right
I walk away and leave you to face a lonely night
I wouldn't blame you darlin' if you walked out on me
But I'll return to find you there still waiting patiently
6. For Ol' Times Sake
(Tony Joe White)
Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked
'Cos it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
And you want to be by yourself a while
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago
I know that you can't stand for chains to bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
You could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart?
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothin' left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
If you don't have nothin' left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
7. If You Don't Come Back
Woke up early in the morning
What did the poor boy find ?
Well, the car was gone and you were gone
And I almost lost my mind
If you don't come back
( If you don't come back )
Yeah, if you don't come back today
( If you don't come back today )
You can call the people at the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
Threw himself up against a stone wall
He tore his clothes at us all
Well, I ran out on the street in my stockinged feet
Tell the police I've been robbed
Mrs Brown's been talking about me
To the people across the street
She said : "I cooked that boy a bucket of stew
But the poor thing just won't eat."
8. Just A Little Bit
(Thornton / Brown / Bass / Washington)
I don't want much
Just want a little bit
Don't want it all
Just a little bit
Give me an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Turn your lamps down low
Slip me a kiss
Turn your lights down low
I won't let you resist
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Early in the mornin'
Well just a little bit
Around midnight
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Walk with me
Just a little bit
I said talk to me
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I want you to remember
To say that you'll be mine
Say you'll never leave me
Till the end of time
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
9. Sweet Angeline
(Arnold / Martin / Morrow)
Sweet Angeline I loved you much more than poets say in rhyme
Just for one short time
Sweet Angeline remember though we've not seen the summer through
I lived only for you
I'm only human and I realise it's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had
(Sweet Angeline I loved you)
10. Three Corn Patches
(Leiber / Stoller)
I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
I said three corn patches about four cotton fields away
Lives the prettiest girl in the whole darn U.S.A.
I said A
She got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair, Mmm
She got big brown eyes and long black wavy hair
She's so beautiful, people it don't seem fair
Well I been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
Yes, I been to Chicago, been to New Orleans
But I'd rather see my baby workin' in her old blue jeans
I said three (I said three) corn patches (corn patches)
About four (about four) cotton fields away
I said three (I said three) corn patches (corn patches)
About four (about four) cotton fields away
Lives the prettiest girl in the whole darn U.S.A.
I said A
She keeps a big bull dog out in her yard all night
She keeps a big bull dog out in her yard all night
Well he barks like he's bad ah, but he don't bite
Gimme three (corn patches) Gimme four (cotton fields away)
I said three (corn patches) I said four
