| Elvis was due back in RCA's Nashville studios on September 21, 1970 to deliver two last cuts for the Elvis Country album. But the day came and went, and when he finally did arrive from LA, twenty-four hours later, he seemed irritated and out-of-sorts that several of those present began to wonder what was wrong. Priscilla was with him that day and to one of the musicians she intimated, without being too specific, that there were reasons. From the start Elvis was badgering Felton Javis to speed it up--he needed to fly back to LA that night. Work began with a cover of Anne Murray's "Snowbird"; it was a pretty song, but tossed off with no attempt at an original arrangement. Elvis love the next tune, a new Dallas Frazier-Doodle Owens ballad, "Where Did They Go Lord?" With its single potential in mind, he belted it out at full throttle. Recorded September 22, 1970. First released as a single; Rags To Riches/Where Did They Go Lord, February 1971. On the Charts: Billboard's Hot 100, 7 weeks-peaked at #33, Country, peaked at #55, Easy Listening, peaked at #18. I did this page for myself, another sad, yet beautiful song..................... |
| Where Did They Go Lord |
| The words of her promise The flame of her faith The love that would never drift away Where did they go Lord, where did they go? You know somehow forever Slipped out of my hands And my dreams ran away with the wind Where did they go Lord, where did they go You know sometimes I wish I had lost her to another Well but Lord she just walked off all alone And the heart that's within me isn’t bitter just hurt And bewildered because her love is gone Oh the passion I trusted The truth that I leaned on And the hope that would forever keep me strong I cry out my questions Oh, the answers are all gone Where did they go Lord, tell me where did they go Where did they go Lord, tell me where did they go Words & music: Dallas Frazier/ A.L. Owens |
