The reason I'm so certain about these lyrics is that at a record show years
Ago, I bought a battered copy of Sam and Dave's version. It's done in a
Stately gospel style that Elvis later adopted for concert performances of the
Song. Here goes: (minor correctios by Paul Hosken (rmcb@vm.op.dlr.de))
I'm the living result
Of a man who's been hurt a little too much
And I've tasted
The bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
I can't stand up etc.
Simple though love is,
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
And I've wrestled with tears
I can't stand up etc.
The vow that we made,
You broke it in two
But that don't stop me
From loving you
I can't stand up etc.
