Corrina, Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina, Corrina, where you been so long?
Ain't had no lovin', girl, since you been gone

I love Corrina, tell the world I do
I love Corrina, tell the world I do
But I pray every night
Corrina will love me too

Oh, Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, I love you so

Oh, Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, I love you so

I left Corrina, 'way 'cross the sea
I left Corrina, 'way 'cross the sea
If you see that woman
Send her back to Jerry Lee

Oh, Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, I love you so

Oh, Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina, I love you so

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.
