Long Black Limousine

download

(Stovall / George)

Tradução »

Informação:
Enquanto Bobby George esteve posicionado na Força Aérea na Alemanha Ocidental em 1954, ouviu uma esposa contar ao seu marido que desejava ser tão rica que pudesse andar uma grande limusine negra. A frase ficou-lhe no ouvido. Em 1962 ele e Vern Stovall escreveram Long Black Limousine, que foi gravada pela primeira vez por Gordon Terry (RCA 47-7989). Para o final desse ano, Glen Campbell também gravou a canção (Capitol 4856). Nenhuma das versões entrou para as tabelas. Jody Miller teve a primeira e única gravação de Long Black Limousine a entrar nas tabelas (Capitol 2290) em 1968. A sua versão chegou ao 73º lugar na tabela country.

Elvis gravou Long Black Limousine nos American Sound Studios em 13 de Janeiro de 1969. Foi a primeira canção que ele lá gravou.

Letra:
 

There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yeah
They're all your rich friends who knew you in the city
Well now they've finally brought, brought you home to me, you

When you left you know you told me that some day you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yeah
Well, now everyone is watching you, you finally got your dream
Well, you're ridin' in a long black limousine

You know the papers they told of how you lost your life, oh yeah
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well, the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see
Well, you were ridin' in that long black limousine

Through tear filled eyes I watch as ride pass by, yeah
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well I'll never, I'll never love another
Oh my heart, all my dreams, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine

Yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine

Yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine

Yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine...
