i'm Left You're Right She's Gone
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, you tried to tell me so
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me?
You told me all along
You're right, our love was so wrong
But now I changed my mind
Because she broke the ties that bind
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Oh, you tried to tell me all along she'd only break my heart
I'm left, you're right, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I'm falling for you
If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home just for three
And I'll soon forget her now I know
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

If Elvis never cut another record after those 5 SUN singles, he'd still be the greatest of all time.

This is the first time I ever heard this. Scotty always blows me away. The word is 'surprising'. He always throws some off the wall lick in that no one could have predicted. He really took chances. He could have played safe and done pentatonic scale licks. But nooooo... he had to do something new.
Elvis was innovative in his vocals and his 'rebellion'. Well, although Scotty doesn't look the part, he was as rebellious as Elvis. Scotty looks like a government bureaucrat but when he picks up the guitar, he becomes James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause. When he throws in his incredible licks, it's like he's shouting to other guitarists, "Top THAT, mofos!".
The sound of his guitar is amazing. And it's not just the instrument, it's his style. The sound is sharp and piercing, but with that Gibson fatness at the bottom that comes from the jazz sound.
I would have loved to have met Scotty just to shake his hand. I guess I'll have to be content just getting lost in his playing.
RIP, dude.
Anders Albrechtsen
Well said. Completely agree. Scotty was amazing.
T.C. Bramblett
he was a true hip cat
Devin Miller
I had the privilege to meet Scotty once.. We talked about guitars an d I mentioned that I didn't think the newer Gibsons were that great. He told me he agreed and said they were pieces of shit (his words). LOL. Besides Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix there isn't many who have invfluenced more that came after him.

Scotty often talked the same about Bill Black. He would egg them BOTH on riding the Bass & double slapping
ginny white

Such a killer tune! Scotty kills it on this one!
Anthony Wilson
Not only the real beginnings of Rock and Roll - the real beginnings of Creedence Clearwater Revival, too!

Many rock songs sound similar, especially in the '50s
