Lonesome Melody

I heard Precy singing Unchained Melody One August night, the sky was bloody The stars were weeping in Memphis Tennessee The teary world was there to see Jail house rock, what a tragedy Marie was humming a lonesome melody The whole night sky was turned to gray For a bright star drifted away Full bookings at heartbreak hotel Colonel Parker was there to tell The sad ringing of the bell Was like a tragic spell Pink Cadillac was gently running It was a day for the weeping But the odd tunes of his passing Left the Curies wondering In memory of the King of Rock n' Roll, August 16, 1977.
