Well, I'm shakin' and I'm nervous all over
And I don't mind tellin' you why
I lost my breath to the hands of death
And baby gonna say goodbye

It's all over town, my baby's put me down
Well, my mind is blanked up and dizzy
And I think I'm a gonna cry
If I find it's true, she found somebody new

I guess I'll lay right down and die
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Oh baby, please go slow

You know I love you darlin'
With all my heart and all of my soul
My temperature's up with a fever
And I don't know what to do

I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down

Oh baby, I'm beggin' you baby
Oh baby, please go slow
You know I love you darlin'
With all my heart and all of my soul

My temperature's up with a fever
And I don't know what to do
I'm just a-sittin' at home by the telephone
I'm just a-waitin' for a call from you

It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down
It's all over town, you're gonna put me down

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
