Original by Paul Whiteman in 1929
Elvis read a portio of the lyrics when he was presented with an award by the Jawcees as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men Of America on January 9, 1971.
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!
That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll ( Roll you river Jordan! )
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
( I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
