Elvis Presley

Songwriter: Fred Wise Ben Weisman

(Danny is my name, oh yes)

[Verse 1]
My name should be trouble
My name should be woe
For trouble and heartache
Is all that I know
But Danny, yes, Danny is my name
(Whoa yes, whoa yes)

[Verse 2]
My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been rainy, oh yes
The night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name
(Danny is my name, oh yes)

[Verse 3]
I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way

[Verse 4]
I'm writing a letter
To someone I know
So if you should find it, oh yes
And if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
(Oh yes)

[Outro]
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
Oh-oh-oh-oh

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.
