Eleanor Rigby
Ray Charles Lyrics
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely peopl
Where do they all belong

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

What struck me the most is how Ray took a Beatles song and did his own approach. Its brilliant and also hillarious how he adds in dialogue. "He turned to me and said."

Aretha Franklins version was so gospel and soulful - a Brilliant version as well.

I love Ray Charles but I'm not sure if I like this version yet. I'll have to listen to it several times and I'm sure it will grow on me.

Interesting that Paul McCartney acknowledges this as one of his favorite covers. He also loved Roy Redmond's version of Good Day, Sunshine and Stevie Wonder's, We Can Work It Out.
