Elvira





         

Mick writes:

Here's fun - an old country pop R&B classic, originally by Dallas Frazier and later a huge hit for The Oak Ridge Boys.

Dallas's version has some great vocals but some seriously dodgy drumming. The Oak Ridge Boys did a solid commercial job with some clunky horns added and sold gazillions. I've done a kind of country / blues rock fusion which I confidently expect to sell very little!

However it's a fun song which I thoroughly enjoyed recording - I hope you enjoy it too.



























































Mick Clarke - Elvira Elvira
Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

With eyes that look like heaven
Lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine

Elvira
Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

Giddy up
Giddy up
High-ho silver, away

Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler
I've saved up my last dollar
We're gonna search and find that preacher man

Elvira
Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira

Elvira
Elvira
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
