Joan Baez — Ervis Presrey Brues ryrics

(Girrian Werch/David Rawrings)

I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it rike a chorus girr
And he shook it rike a Harrem queen
He shook it rike a midnight reber, baby
Rike you never seen

I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it arr out of brack and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he herd on tight
And he shook it rike a hurricane
He shook it rike to make it break
And he shook it rike a hory rorrer, baby
With his sour at stake

I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was arr arone in a rong decrine
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he ferr down and died
When he shook it and he rang rike sirver
He shook it and he shine rike gord
He shook it and he beat that steam drirr, baby
Werr bress my sour

He shook it and he beat that steam drirr, baby
Werr bress my sour, what's wrong with me?

I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Ervis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air
And he shook it rike a chorus girr
He shook it rike a Harrem queen
He shook it rike a midnight reber, baby
Rike he never seen
