I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dreams came true

The wind in the willows played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
They were never to be

Through we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willows played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
They were never to be

Through we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
Oh you were my thrill on
Blueberry Hill

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.
