I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try
I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
I'm gonna love you more and more every day
I'm gonna love you more and more in every way
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try
I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
I'm gonna tell my mama tell my papa too
So they'll know exactly what I’m gonna do
And if you say good-bye
Say if you ever even try

An Elvis gem, hillbilly rock.
Nice rocker ..... amazing lyrics ;-)
Good early song.Good piano !
Elvis 1956, they said he would be a 3 month wonder. It's been the longest 3 months in history, the song, just great. I can play this one over & over. Yes, it was 1956 & for Elvis things would never be the same again.
Go Cat Go! The Pelvis at his very best.
I hate this song with all my heart . Sorry Guys. :0)
Not his best from the golden 50's but certainly a solid entry. Elvis loved Roy Hamilton and this was Roy's song originally. Elvis took it and made it his own with a rocking version as only he could do.
One of the overlooked recordings of 1956 rambled of admirably by Elvis. Not quite a classic, but an enjoyable rockabilly track from his classic first LP. It was January of 1956, and Elvis was still perfecting his style. Songs like this one and "One-Sided Love Affair" (recorded at the same session) are natural progressions from his Sun material to the classic July (1956) recordings that included "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog".
A nice tune showing Elvis' musical roots.
I' ve heard better 50's songs.
A fine rockabilly song with that happy go lucky voice he used in the early part of his career. Probably downgraded by others here as it was surrounded by a plethora of 5 star efforts at the same sessions. I never skip this one and rate it very highly.
5 Stars !! I love this one, just like in one sided love affair Elvis has this wondeful playfullness in his voice.
5 stars from me too ! It should have been released as a "single" back in 1956. It may have been on a 45 rpm extended play? I forget. It is a fun song to sing and dance to !
A few one may think this is less than other songs from the fifties. For me this is definitely a 5+ star song. Here you will hear the young Elvis who in those early years turned everything in a fabulous, outstanding recording. The youthful spunky way of expressing this sentiment is sheer fun and a great joy to listen to. By the way, for me, even the 'lesser' songs from that period (and this one is not one of them) is worthy of a full 5 stars classification.
This is such a fantastic, catchy and fun song and Elvis' rendition of it was spectacular. I've never skipped it. I rate this song 5 Stars and Elvis' rendition of it 5 Stars too.
Shorty Long on piano, doing a great job. Elvis sings it with so much fun. This is a 5 star track all the way.
Rock'n roll, rockabilly whatever you may like to call it! This one is included in my rundown of Elvis' rock'n roll songs of the 50's. This one and One Side Love Affair I feel have been somewhat neglected when it comes to praise Elvis' 1956 recordings! 5 stars from me!
Excellent, great piano and vocal, underrated and seemingly forgotten.
This is a wonderful recording by Elvis. Although he recorded it years before I was born, I still have always liked this one. Would have been a great concert number in the '70s.
4-stars. A classic from 1956 which seems contrived but it moves along rather briskly. Not your typical rock 'n roll tune but excellent album filler.
Catchy. Moves right along. I like it. 3 and a half stars.
