Oh she dressed in the dark
And she whispered 'Amen'
She was pretty and pink
Like a young girl again.
Twnety years married and
She never thought twice
She sneaked out the door and
Walked into the night
And silver wings carried her
Over the sea
From the West coast of Ireland
To West Tennesee,
To be with her sweetheart,
She left everything,
From Galway to Graceland
To be with the king.
She was humming 'suspicion',
That's the song she liked best,
She had 'Elvis, I Love you'
Tatooed on her breast,
When she landed in Memphis,
Well her heart beat so fast,
She'd dreamed for so long,
Now she'll see him at last.
She was down by his graveside
Day after day, come closing time,
They would pull her away,
To be with her sweetheart,
She left everything,
From Galway to Graceland
To be with the king
Oh they came in their thousands,
From the whole human race,
To pay their respects
At his last resting place,
Oh blindly she knelt there,
And she told him her dreams,
And she thought that he answered
Well that's how it seems.
And they dragged her away,
It was handcuffs this time,
She said "my good man, are you
Out of your mind?
Don't you know we are married,
See, I'm wearing his ring,
From Galway to Graceland
To be with the king;
I've come from Galway
To Graceland to be with
The king" |
