Long Black Limousine - Takes 3 - 5 (3x False Start) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

There′s a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to blow-

There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh, yeah
They′re all rich friends who knew you in the city
And now they've finally brought you
Brought you home to me


When you left, you know you told me
That someday you'd be returnin′
In a fancy car, for all the town to see, oh, yeah
Well, now, everyone is watching you
When you finally had your dream, yeah
You′re ridin' in a long black limousine

You know the papers, they told of how you lost your life, oh, yeah
The party and the fatal crash that night
Well, the race along the highway, oh, the curve, you didn′t see
Well, now, you're in that long black limousine

Through tear-filled eyes, I watch as you pass by, oh, yeah
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well, I never, I never, never, never
Oh, my heart, all my dreams, yeah, they′re with you
In that long black limousine

There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street-


There′s a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh, yeah
I'm sorry-
