Story Behind The Song
I decided I needed to write a song about Elvis. The title I've given the song is: "Even Elvis Got the Blues". It definitely helps to enjoy the song if you are an Elvis fan. Elvis was as human as anyone, he just had a fantastic singing voice and very talented to boot. He had great acting skills, but wasn't given great movies to act in. But being a sensitive human being, Elvis would have his moments, I would probably say he felt sad, blue.

Lyrics
EVEN ELVIS GOT THE BLUES Feb. 2016
I'VE BEEN A BIG ELVIS FAN ALL OF MY LIFE
HE WAS A HAPPY GO LUCKY GUY HE COULDN'T DO WRONG
WHATEVER HE SANG JUST TURNED TO GOLD
ROCK A BILLY BLUES AND ROCK AND ROLL
CHORUS:
BUT EVEN ELVIS GOT THE BLUES
ESPECIALLY WHEN HIS MAMA DIED
WHAT REALLY WENT THROUGH HIS MIND
WHEN THE ANGELS CAME AND TOOK HER AWAY
EVEN ELVIS GOT THE BLUES
WHEREVER HE WENT GIRLS WOULD SCREAM AND SHOUT
GUYS WANTED TO SING LIKE HIM AND EVEN LOOK THE PART
WHEN HE GOT FAMOUS HE BOUGHT SOME CADILLACS
ALL BECAUSE OF BLUES AND ROCK AND ROLL
CHORUS:
ADULTS WOULD CRITICIZE THOSE GYRATING HIPS
AND TOM JONES EVEN SANG THE ELVIS PRESLEY BLUES
ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING THE BOY FROM TUPELO
NEVER COMING BACK TO SING THOSE BLUES AND ROCK AND ROLL
