[Verse 1]
It's a lonely man (ooh)
Who wanders all around (lonely man)
It's a lonely man (ooh)
Who roams from town to town

Searching, always searching
For something he can't find
Hoping, always hoping
That someday fate will be kind

[Verse 2]
It's a lonely man (ooh)
Who travels all alone (lonely man)
When he has no one (ooh)
That he can call his own

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man (lonely man)

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man (lonely man)

[Outro]
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man (lonely man)

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.
