Written by: Joy Byers/Charles E. Daniels
B-Side of “Kissin’ Cousins” (1964)
Now on: " Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 4" 
          and other Greatest Hits collections

Re-recording on: "Memories: The '68 Comeback Special [Disc 1]" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Elvis obviously liked this song, as he recorded it twice. The first version was released as a B-side in 1964. He re-recorded it in 1968 for his TV special "Elvis". This second version is transposed down one semi-tone to Bb and truncated: the last verse and the coda are left out because it is part of the so-called "Road Medley" ((Nothingville / Big Boss Man / Let Yourself Go / It Hurts Me / Guitar Man / Little Egypt / Trouble). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 1st fret play: Bb key: B --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO
