| In 1973 there was pressure on Elvis from all directions. His health was still slipping, and while the divorce proceedings continued Priscilla had begun to grant interviews, allowing disturbing stories about his private life to appear in the press for the very first time. In Las Vegas Elvis began rehearsals on July 31, working on new songs. By the time of the actual show the only new material remaining was "Trouble" (from King Creole) and a cover of Richard Harris's "My Boy," the kind of sentimental cry-in-your-beer divorce number he could no longer resist. "My Boy" was recorded December 13, 1973 at Stax Studios, Memphis, first released on LP Good Times 1974. The version you hear was recorded live in Murfreesboro, TN. May 6, 1975 and taken from the album Dixieland Rocks. Animation at the botton are of the jumpsuit Elvis wore at this concert. |

| You're sleeping son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late For your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy I know, it's hard to understand Why did we ever start? We're more like strangers now Each acting out a part I have laughed, I have cried I have lost every game Taken all I can take But I'll stay here just the same Because you're all I have, my boy Yeah you’re my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Sleep on, you haven't heard a word Perhaps it's just as well Why spoil your little dreams Why put you through the hell Life is no fairytale As one day you will know But now you're just a child I'll stay here and watch you grow Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Yeah because you're all I have, my boy Yeah you’re my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Yeah because You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you my boy Words & music: B. Martin/ P. Coulter |
