Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Dallas Frazier Doodle Owens

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Someday you'll feel
A trembling in your knees
When time has changed
The fashions of his dreams

Then you'll grow weak from holding on
The love that wants to leave
When he walks on you
Like you have walked on me

When you wake up without him
Please remember
A faithful heart of your old
Used-to-be

With happy tears and open arms
I'll welcome you sweetheart
When he walks on you
Like you have walked on me

When you wake up without him
When he walks on you
Like you have walked on me

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.
