[Verse 1]
I'm sorry now, girl, but I must leave you
There's something deep inside my soul keeps calling me
The winter wind, girl, will not deceive you
And in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

[Verse 2]
You'll see me coming, you'll see me going
Don't ask me why, I'm just the kind needs to be free
Just like that outlaw wind keeps on a-blowing
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

[Verse 3]
Now I know you loved me just like I wanted
I know you'd follow me across an endless sea
But, baby, I've got a heart that's haunted
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

[Verse 4]
Ah but you should know, girl, that I'll be crying
Out on that lonely road where not a soul can see
I'll shed my tears for a love that's dying
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

[Verse 5]
The summer sun, girl, will bring a stranger
And he'll be better to you than I used to be
And when he takes you into his arms, girl
Well, in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me

[Outro]
Then in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
