Lonely Man

Rating:

Words & Music: Bennie Benjamin/ Sol Marcus

It's a lonely man
Who wanders all around
It's a lonely man
Who roams from town to town
Searchin', always searchin'
For something he can't find
Hopin', always hopin'
That some day fate will be kind

It's a lonely man
Who travels all alone
When he has no one
That he can call his own

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Recorded: 1960/11/07, first released on single

I like all versions of this. Great melody and perfectly sung.

Wild In The Country didnt have great songs, but this is a good one, probably the best one recorded for the movie although not featured.

Another slow country ballad recorded for, but not included in the movie "Wild In The Country". A little more interesting than the other three ballads considered or used in the movie ("In My Way", "Forget Me Never" and the title song), but not one of Elvis' very best either. Still it is quite good and it did have a short run up to #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 as the flipside of "Surrender". 3 1/2 star track.

I'm going for the solo version.
