Kentucky Rain b/w My Little Friend - Elvis Presley

A-SIDE LYRICS Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago I reached out one night and you were gone Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, thumbin' for a ride On this lonely Kentucky back road I've loved you much too long; my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing what went wrong. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes, searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain. Showed your photograph to some old grey bearded men Sitting on a bench outside a general store They said "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear. "Was it yesterday? No, wait the day before". Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked, "Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?" As we drove on through the rain, as he listened I explained And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes, searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain. B-SIDE LYRICS My warped and worried mind resorts To wandering off to ponder things I never talk about A pretty girl I used to know but wouldn't know if we met face to face And defying every logic known I wish that the time machine could take me back again To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout Referring to her only as my little friend Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away The child has grown into a woman of the world I assume this knowing that she knew so much of life at such a tender age I learned from her the whispered things the big boys at the pool hall talk about The thrill and disappointment, fear and shame that first love brings But oh, how I thought I loved my little friend The fragrance of the green grass mingled with the scent of love and womanhood. The moonlight night I kissed and cried and swore I'd never touch another girl But time moved fast and I moved on and I loved others time and time again But with each time I thought of her and always gave a little more a symbol of remembrance for my little friend. Oh-oh-oh a symbol of the rememberance for my little friend Oh-oh-oh a symbol of the rememberance for my little friend Oh-oh-oh a symbol of the rememberance for my little friend
