Cowboy Anton on Elvis´ rare song "Fool, Fool, Fool"

Cowboy Anton talks about "Fool, Fool, Fool", a radio demo recorded in Lubbock, Texas, on January 6, 1955.

I've always thought Elvis Presley was a wonderful R&B singer, and it really is too bad that he never got around to recording an entire album of blues material. Here's a raw early demo of "Fool Fool Fool," a song that he never cut commercially but that shows what a young Elvis could do with a good R&B tune.

 

The song was written by Ahmet Ertegun and was recorded at Radio Station KDAV, Lubbock, Texas. It was released on Elvis´ Complete 50's Masters.

 

Lyrics

 

Fool, fool, fool

That I was to fall for you.

Well, fool, fool, fool

That I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

To think that you could love me, too.

 

Well, well, when I first met you, baby,

Well, I knew I couldn`t win,

But I just kept right on trying,

`Cause trying is no sin.

 

What a fool, fool, fool,

That I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

To think that you could love me, too.

 

Well, when I first met you, baby,

Well, I knew I couldn`t win,

But I just kept right on trying,

`Cause trying is no sin.

 

What a fool that I was to fall for you.

Well, I know what a fool I was

 

To think that you could love me too
