I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in heav’n on high
(I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in heaven on high.
Sento una voce dolce che sta chiamando
Dall’alto, lassù nel cielo
(Sento una voce dolce che sta chiamando)
Dall’alto, lassù nel cielo.
si tratta di una jam, effettuata assieme a Jerry Lee Lewis e Carl Perkins.
STORIA DELLA CANZONE: Bill Monroe registrò questa canzone nel 1947. Elvis cantò solo un paio di strofe di essa durante la jam denominata Million Dollar Quartet.
Ecco il testo completo:
“Our little girl taken sick one evening /As she walked home from school /And in her death bed soon bring her /It made us so sad and so blue
Then she called me close to her bedside /And whispered these words soft and low, /”Tell Mommy to come to me quickly, /I want to kiss you both then go”
I hear a sweet voice calling /Way up in heaven on high /God has made room for you daughter, /Oh Mommy and Daddy don’t cry
Take care of my little brother /Tell him I’ve gone to rest /I know his little heart is broken /He’s all that you have left
Then she closed her eyes forever /Never to see us no more /Until we meet our darling /On that bright and peaceful shore”.
