One of my wife and my favorite activities was, to go to the karaoke clubs to sing. One of the songs, which she loved me to sing was "The American Trilogy". She used to say, that I was "channeling" Elvis, or was he channeling me? mmmm!!!!
OH I wish I was.... In the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, look away, look away, look away Dixie land, AH Sing it fellas....
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away, in Dixieland I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie, for in DIxieland, thats where i was born, early on one frosty morn, 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, for all my trials Lord, will soon be over......
Instrumental break........
Glory glory Hallelujah..... don don don.... Glory glory hallelujah.... glory glory hallelujah.... His truth is marching on........ His truth is Marching oooonnnnnnn.......
Thank you, thank you very much....

Elvis: Thanks for the memory! I was fortunate enough to see Ronnie McDowell and the Stamps do an Elvis tribute shortly after he died...one of my favorite songs, for sure.....bob

I agree with "mysterywoman" I have a Elvis DVD, the American Trilogy and My Way are the ones I play over and over again.
PLEASE, post a picture of you dressed in an Elvis costume.... I really do think you would be a darn good look alike

I saw Elvis perform this song and it gave me goose bumps! He was a great performer.

Elvis, good song...why don't you put it on video for us to hear you sing it. I bet you would sound really good.
