"OLD SHEP" - Elvis Presley
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep, he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side and looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home

從未受過正統學習音樂, 祇由聆聽 Jukebox 的歌曲與及叔父送的一支结他自學開始。1953年, 第一次在 Humes High School Annual Show 自彈自唱一曲 Teresa Brewer 的 "Till I Waltz Again With You" 觀衆给予熱烈掌聲, 因而被激勵對歌唱與表演的信心。同年 Elvis Presley 到 Memphis 曼菲斯市一錄音公司錄製一首作為送給母親生日禮物的歌曲; 這公司的老闆 Sam Phillips 當時剛成立自己的 Sun Records 唱片公司, 與助手 Marion Keisker 聽過 Elvis 的錄音後, 覺得他很有潛質, 於是要求記下他的地址。

Elvis Presley "THAT'S ALL RIGHT"
Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Mama she's done told me,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your foolin' with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Mama she's done told me,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your foolin' with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
