[ Tekst: Toini Knudtsen ]
I've been to Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee
Listening to rock'n'roll music, cajun and hillbilly
I've been all around where they say the blues was born
I heard them howl and yell and scream and shout and moan
I've been dancing, singing, I've been having a ball
and then I met a man who said he's seen what I never saw
Saying:
I saw Elvis, down in New Orleans
He was doing King Creole, oh bless my soul, what a sight to see
Tall, dark and handsome, and then some
all I ever thought that he would be
I saw Elvis looking straight at me
I've been to 706 Union Avenue
And I know you wish you could have been there too
I've been in the jungle room
kissing under a Memphis moon
Standing in the spot where Billy Lee Riley once stood
rock bop r&b makes me feel good
And then I saw Elvis, it was in a dream
walking down Beale Street, shuffling his feet, me oh my oh me
Tall, dark and handsome, and then some
all I ever thought that he would be
I saw Elvis looking straight at me
I saw Elvis, down in New Orleans
He was doing King Creole, oh bless my soul, what a sight to see
Tall, dark and handsome, and then some
all I ever thought that he would be
I saw Elvis looking straight at me
