I Got a Woman (Charles)
Elvis sang I Got a Woman on the Louisiana Hayride and on tour in 1955. Some speculate that he recorded the song while at Sun Records, but no proof exists.
At 02:00 P.M. on January 10, 1956, Elvis recorded I Got a Woman at RCA's Nashville studios. It was his first recording for RCA. Musicians on the session were Elvis, Scotty Moore, Bill Black, D.J. Fontana, and Floyd Cramer. Backing vocals were by Gordon Stoker, Ben Speer, and Brock Speer. I Got a Woman appeared on Elvis's first LP, Elvis Presley, and later in 1956 was released as a single. It did not chart. In England, I Got a Woman was released on albums with the title I Got a Sweetie.
Elvis sang I Got a Woman on his first
appearance on Stage Show (January 28, 1956). A performance of the
song at Hampton Roads, Virginia, on April 9, 1972, was used in the
documentary Elvis On Tour. I Got a Woman was a staple of Elvis's repertoire
in the 1970s. He often sang it in a medley with Amen. I got a woman way cross town
She's good to me, oh yeah
She says she loves me early in the morning
just for me, oh yeah You know she loves me so tenderly I got a woman way cross town She's good to me, oh yeah
I got a woman way over town good to me Yeah
