Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Marty Robbins

Well I never felt more like
Singing the blues
'Cause I never thought that
I'd ever lose
Your loving
Why'd you do me this way

Well I never felt more
Like cryin' all night
'Cause everything's wrong
And nothing ain't right
Without you

Got me singing the blues
The moon and the stars
No longer shine
The dream is gone
I thought it was mine
There's nothin' left
For me to do
But cry over you

Well I never felt more
Like runnin' away
Why should I go when I
Couldn't stay
Without you
Got me singing the blues
The moon and the stars

No longer shine
The dream is gone
I thought it was mine
There's nothin' left
Or me to do

But cry over
Well I never felt more
Like runnin' away
Why should I go when
I couldn't stay
Without you
Got me singing the blues
Got me singing the blues
Got me singing the blues

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.
