Elvis Presley Trying To Get To You

Elvis Presley Trying To Get To You
Written by Rose Marie McCoy and Margie Singleton. Elvis recorded it July 11, 1955 at Sun Records, which was released by RCA on the LP Elvis Presley. It was the only Sun recording by Elvis to use a piano, which was may have been played by Elvis himself. The September 1956 single release did not chart. It was the A-side to I Love You Because. It is available on The Complete Sun Sessions, Elvis by the Presleys, The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters, and Artist of the Century, which is where this version is from.




I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that I've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.


Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you


Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.

This has gotta be one of the BEST songs I have EVER heard. PURE, RAW MUSIC!

[therealcraigbaxter]

i have always thought that the album i have this song on ... "elvis presley" ... was one of the last real elvis albums ... after that his manager turned him into a vegas act ... this song remains as haunting today as it was then ...

this guy was the real deal ...

The last song was "That's Alright Mama" Great music, it changed the world.

This was on the first LP I ever saw, bought in UK 1957. The other songs were: Blue Suede Shoes, Tutti Frutti, I got a Woman, I'm left you're Right She's Gone, Shake Rattle and Roll, I'm Counting on You, Mystery Train, One-sided Love Affair, Lawdy Miss Clawdy, Money Honey - and I can't remember the last one. Funny thing, I never saw this exact album again. Probably my all time favourite....

Elvis before the Army for me, he had the voice, the hair and the look 0:55, and this song was so raw.

[1950oldman1]

His music before he was in those carbon copy movies was the best.Never get tired of it

Scotty Moores Guitar was so very Important in the early presley material, Elvis had the talent but Scotty's sound made the records Stand Out

[MARKCARRI]
