In the winter of Thirty Five
Tupelo Mississippi's pride
A Mother gave birth to a rock-n-roll King
He crossed the river to the other side
Memphis Sun and stars in his eye's
They told his Mama, "That Boy Can Sing"
And, we can see him on the silver screen
The way he wiggles the girls would scream
The gentle way he sang each song
Jenny never missed a single show
Except the day, she didn't go
The day I asked her for her hand
She loved Elvis - I couldn't take her from a better man
I remember the day he died
And every tear, we cried and cried
And how we stayed up all night long
Just playing old Forty Five's
In every song, he was still alive
We sat there thinking - was he really gone
And on the news they said, "They Found"
Everybody gathered round - I couldn't believe my eyes
Cause, I could see him on the silver screen
The way he wiggled the girls would scream
The gentle way he sang each song
Jenny never missed a single show
Except the day we didn't go
The day I asked her for her hand
See, she loved Elvis - I couldn't take her from a better man
She loved Elvis - I couldn't take her from a better man
In the winter of Thirty Five
Tupelo Mississippi's pride
A Mother gave birth to a rock-n-roll King
