A Mess Of BluesElvis Presley

Released: July 5, 1960

Songwriter: Mort Shuman Doc Pomus

[Verse]
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy
Sitting here all alone
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rolling down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

[Chorus]
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train going
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rolling down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

[Chorus]
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of blues

[Outro]
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

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.
