Elvis Presley An American Trilogy (Single Release 2-17-72)

Elvis Presley An American Trilogy
An American Trilogy is a medley of three songs arranged by Mickey Newbury: Dixie, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and All My Trials. Dixie was written on April 3, 1859 by Dan Emmett for a minstrel show. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written by Julia Ward Howe in December 1861. All My Trials is a traditional song whose composer is unknown. Elvis sang An American Trilogy in concert in the 1970s, and it was always a showstopper. This is the single release, which was recorded February 17, 1972 at the Las Vegas Hilton (although I have used Aloha from Hawaii January 1973 pictures in this video). The flute solo on the recording is done by Jimmy Mulidore. The single had a six-week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, peaking at #66; it reached #31 on the Easy-Listening chart. It was the A-side to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. The single release is available on 2nd to None, Artist of the Century, Standing Room Only, Elvis-Viva Las Vegas, and Walk a Mile in My Shoes-The Essential 70s Masters.

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away

In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord will soon be over

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah

His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
