Elvis Presley Rags to Riches
Written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. Elvis recorded it September 22, 1970 at RCAs Hollywood Studios. The single release peaked at #45 on Billboards Hot 100 chart, remaining for 5 weeks. It was the A-side to Where did They Go, Lord. It is available on Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential 70s Masters, Elvis Aron Presley, Thats The Way It Is (Special Edition), For The Good Times, and The 50 Greatest Love Songs, which is where this version is from.


I know I'd go from rags to riches
If you would only say you cared
And though my pockets may be empty
I'd be a millionaire

My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything

So open your arms and you'll open the door
To all the treasure that I'm living for
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine evermore

Must I forever stay a beggar?
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches
My fate is up to you
