Elvis Presley 500 Miles (Home Recording)

Elvis Presley 500 Miles

Written by Hedy West. This is a home recording of Elvis from 1966; I am not sure if he is in Hollywood or at Graceland-I have seen both credited. I do not know who the woman is, but the man is probably Charlie Hodge, as he sang harmony with Elvis on many recordings in the 1960s and 1970s, and lived at Graceland. Elvis is singing the low part. This song is available on In A Private Moment.

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles. a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go back home thisaway
Thisaway, thisaway, thisaway, thiaway
Thisaway

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles. a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

We would like to post your video on WES BRYAN-MY LIFE IN MUSIC as a tribute to Elvis Presley who I was friends with for 20 years shortly, as we are dedicating this month to Elvis for his birthday. This song reminds me of the singing at Elvis' parties - so many voices singing along with Elvis. Elvis had a home recording studio at Graceland... Don't know if I can ID where this was recorded... THANK YOU Wes Bryan

@CTNWB Thank you. It would be my honor. ELVIS FOREVER.

so beautiful listening to his great voice and the back singers, but very sad at the same time too, what an artist he was, unbelievable he had to die so early, still miss him to this day when listening to music

He could have done well with this one had it been professionally recorded for release. In this version he is pretty much behind the harmonies, but there are hints of what he may have done with it.
