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
