private presley

peach pit

the two room shotgun house

the folks could hear her howls

the cotton bed sheets blood

my son

one less

when its 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
