Elvis Presley

Songwriter: Sid Wayne Ben Weisman

[Verse 1]
Ho jump down, spin around, let's have a party
Look who's back, Stay Away Joe
Chock taw, chick a Shaw, going to drink me hearty
Welcome back, Stay Away Joe

[Chorus]
Stay Away Joe they call me
Stay Away Joe, oh yeah
But if you need me call me
Hoop and a holler and I'll be there
Ho

[Verse 2]
Who keeps turning up like a bad penny
Take one guess, Stay Away Joe
Always finding trouble a-plenty
Oh my yes, I reckon you know

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When two lips are right for the picking
Who crops up, Stay Away Joe
I love them and leave them screaming 'n kicking
Giddy up look at him look at him go

[Chorus]
Stay Away Joe they call me
Stay Away Joe, oh yeah
But if you need me call me
Hoop and a holler and I'll be there
Hey

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.
