Stand Up
The reason  I'm so certain about these lyrics is that at a record
show years
ago, I bought a battered copy of Sam and Dave's version.  It's
done in a
stately gospel style that Elvis later adopted for concert
performances of the
song.  Here goes:  (minor correctios by  Paul Hosken
(rmcb@vm.op.dlr.de))
I'm the living result
Of a man who's been hurt a
little too much
And I've tasted
The bitterness of my own tears
Sadness
is all my lonely heart can feel
I can't stand up etc.
Simple though love
is,
still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now
I've lived with heartaches
and I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with
despair
And I've wrestled with tears
I can't stand up etc.
The vow
that we made,
you broke it in two
but that don't stop me
from loving
you
I can't stand up etc.
