Got you on my mind feeling kinda sad and low
Got you on my mind feeling kinda sad and low
Wondering where you are wondering why you had to go

Tears began to fall everytime I hear your name
Tears began to fall everytime I hear your name
Since you went away darling nothing seems to be the same

No matter how I try my heart keeps tellin' me that I can't forget you
It should ever be that you wanna come back to Jerry Lee Lord I'm gonna let you
Got you on my mind...

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.
