Lyric King s Call

It was a rainy night the night the king went down
Everybody was crying it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, close friend

Now some people say that that ain t right
And some people say nothing at all
But even in the darkest of night
You can always hear the king s call
You can always hear the king s call

Well they put him away in Memphis
Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said it was a plain grey day

Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I got drunk all over again

Now some people say that that ain t right
That ain t right
And some people say nothing at all
I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king s call
You could always hear the king s call

I wonder if you re lonesome tonight
And I d rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you

Now some people say that that ain t right
And some people say nothing at all I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king s call
You could always hear the king s call
You could always hear the king s call
Now the stage is bare and I m standing here
They might as well bring the curtain down
I cried the night the king died
