Although he is predominantly recognized as the King of Rock and Roll, “Soldier Boy” represents one of the rare moments when Elvis embraced the doo-wop genre, providing a glimpse into his remarkable ability to effortlessly merge various facets of American music. This track not only mirrors his post-military encounters but also underscores his enduring musical prowess.
Lyrics:
Soldier boy why feel blue
Don’t you believe that she will be true
It’s written in the book
That she was meant for only you
Soldier boy tell me why do you cry
When you return she’ll rush to your side
It’s written in the book
That she was meant for only you
So prove your love is true
She’ll be there to say I do
And if you go o’er sea or land
She’ll make you understand
While you’re gone oh try to believe
Her love for you is really for real
It’s written in the book
That she was meant for only you
So prove your love is true
She’ll be there to say I do
And if you go o’er sea or land
She’ll make you understand
While you’re gone oh try to believe
Her love for you is really for real
It’s written in the book
That she was meant for only you
Soldier boy
