Elvis Presley - Dixieland - An American Trilogy ( On Tour 1972) [ CC ]

Dixieland - An American Trilogy.... On Tour 1972. Recorded: 1972/02/16, first released on single.
Words & Music by Micky Newbury . Lyrics: Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord will soon be over

Recorded: 1972/02/16, first released on single

I don't care what anyone says. Elvis was the best performer ever, and he gave it all on stage!

[bustingpacks]

Elvis uniting the country. We could use him today.

[diannegoodwin]

He has been gone now for 45 years?? I remember where I was the day he died. The singers of this age come and go. Elvis will be for always. How lucky was I to know his music and his presence. Thank you Elvis xx

WHO IS PROUD TO BE BORN AND RAISED IN DIXIE????!!! Proud Virginian here

[russellthompson]

This for me is Elvis's best performance and his best song. Pure magic. Too good for this miserable World. There really are no words to describe how awesome he was at singing. He was an Angel sent to Earth to bring joy and happiness and boy did he do that with his God given incredible voice. He had it all, a great voice, great looks, great personality.

[wthjrtx]

God Bless Elvis!
Forever grateful to be a son of the South. Dixieland, Our home. May We All Live Well.

[Ms.Elvis.]

I love this song, Elvis could sing it like no other. I don't know any singer that would sing it today. I am from the south and proud of it.

[callumjeffery]

Elvis brings happiness to me in my darkest days. He’s my hero, he’s the king and the best ever. Long live the king 👑

[PAN-jogo]

Even to the end, the one thing that didn’t fail him was his incredible voice…

[leonceboudreauxwolf]

Elvis was right. In 1977, his trials on this earth was over. RIP. Far as I'm concerned, he was the best male singer in his field ever.

[ksw]

Beautiful, beautiful voice. Wish there were people to look after him better.

[lindabelliveau]

I have yet to hear a voice like this that can give me goose bumps and bring me to tears. What a sad day when we lost him, thank God his songs will live on.

[jimallen]

I was stationed at Hickam AFB in Hawaii in 1972 and got to see Elvis in his Aloha from Hawaii concert. Best concert I've ever seen before or since. Elvis had tremendous talent.

[cotyluckett]

RIP to the beautiful states of Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee... y’all are not forgotten. Forever live Stone Mountain.
