Western Union

(Tepper / Bennett)

Information:

Elvis recorded Western Union on May 27, 1963, at RCA's Nashville studios. Written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, the tune turned up as a bonus song on the Speedway LP.

Lyrics:

Western Union, oh, Western Union
I had a fight with my baby, ooh how sorry I am
She won't talk to me no how
I'm gonna send a telegram

1. Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me

She won't open my letters
She won't answer the phone
When I'm a-ringin' her doorbell
She says there ain't nobody home

1. 1. (repeat)

I love you is my message
Just three words and no more
If she won't let you deliver
Slip it underneath her door

1. 1. (repeat)
