April 14th, Part I Lyrics - Time - Gillian Welch

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

Just a country boy that combed his hair 

And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air 

And he shook it like a chorus girl 

And he shook it like a Harlem queen 

He shook it like a midnight rambler, 

Baby, 

Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

How he took it all out of black and white 

Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight 

And he shook it like a hurricane 

He shook it like to make it break 

And he shook it like a holy roller, baby 

With his soul at stake 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

He was all alone in a long decline 

Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died 

When he shook it and he rang like silver 

He shook it and he shine like gold 

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby 

Well bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby 

Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me? 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

I was thinking that night about Elvis 

Day that he died, day that he died 

Just a country boy that combed his hair 

Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air 

And he shook it like a chorus girl 

He shook it like a Harlem queen 

He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby 

Like he never seen
