Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Dallas Frazier Doodle Owens

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Well I hear through the grapevines that your blue eyes have been rainin'
Well I cried for you when you left me alone
Darlin' don't say I didn't tell you so
But baby we both know which one of us was wrong

They say you wanted many oh
But they say you still play our favorite song
Darlin' now I'm not sayin' that I told you so ha ha
But we both know baby, we both know baby which one of us was wrong

Who told who that we were tearin' down once in a lifetime on
And it would be too late to be sorry later on
Baby don't tell Jerry didn't tell you so
'Cause we both know honey which one of us was wrong

Who told who that we were tearin' down once in a lifetime on
Who told who that it would be too late to be sorry later on
Darlin' no I ain't gonna say that I told you so
We both know we both know baby which one of us was wrong

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.
