Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Johnny Bond

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Tonight I'm sad, my heart is weary
I'm wond'ring if I'm wrong or right
Although' you've gone and found another
I wonder where you are tonight

That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight

Your heart was cold, you never loved me
Tho' you said you often cared
And now you've gone and found another
Someone who knows the love I shared

That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight

Then came the dawn that day you left me
I tried to smile with all my might
But you could see the pain within me
That lingers in my heart tonight

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.
