[Verse 1]
A very old friend came by today
Because he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

[Verse 2]
He talked and talked, and I heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

[Verse 3]
Though I smiled, the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry?

[Verse 4]
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally?
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

[Verse 3]
Though I smiled, the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry?

[Verse 4]
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally?
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame
Oh, Marie's the name of his latest flame
Marie's the name of his latest flame

Elvis Presley

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.
