Great song, no matter who covers it. The song was written in 1954 by Charles Singleton & Rose Marie McCoy, two blacks from Jacksonville and Oneida USA. Originally recorded by a group called 'The Eagles' in that same year. Johnny Rivers and Eric Burden also did covers. Paul McCartney wrote 'In spite of all the danger' inspired by this song (basically a cover with different lyrics). He recorded it with the Quarrymen, in 1958.
I've been traveling over mountains Even through the valleys, too I've been traveling night and day I've been running all the way Baby, trying to get to you Ever since I read your letter Where you said you loved me true I've been traveling night and day I've been running all the way Baby, trying to get to you When I read your loving letter Then my heart began to sing There were many miles between us But they didn't mean a thing I just had to reach you, baby In spite of all that I've been through I kept traveling night and day I kept running all the way Baby, trying to get to you Well if I had to do it over That's exactly what I'd do I would travel night and day And I'd still run all the way Baby, trying to get to you Well, there's nothing that could hold me Or that could keep me away from you When your loving letter told me That you really loved me true Lord above me knows I love you It was He who brought me through When my way was darkest night He would shine His brightest light When I was trying to get to you

I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you
When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But they didn't mean a thing
I just had to reach you, baby
In spite of all that I've been through
I kept traveling night and day
I kept running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you
Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do
I would travel night and day
And I'd still run all the way
Baby, trying to get to you
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true
Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through
When my way was darkest night
He would shine His brightest light
When I was trying to get to you
Rockabilly at it's best!!!
from Elvis to here. Hmmmm stray cats i love ya but Elvis!! owns this song ;-)
these guys are good
“I love the Stray Cats Cover version of Elvis Trying to get to you very much indeed “
Cool Version 😎😎😎
Cool.... But you done know Elvis Presley takes it to another level
Truth Hitman Elvis' version in the 68 comeback is one of the greatest song renditions of any song ever.
Elvis spoils it for the rest.😘 actually Faith Hill does a great country female version.
Elvis Style
the guy on the right looks like josh from exploring with Josh
secureteam12 lol that’s Brian Setzer
Thats the king of swing Brian Setzer you have to know the best guitsrist ever
Nice but yes No one does it Like Elvis , In My top 5 Songs of ALL TIME
Elvis is better
The Eagles sung it first.
Can't compare to Elvis, this is 'lift'(or elevator) muzak by comparison.
like dean martin trying sing elvis.. bad version.
Dean Martin?!?!
Seriously?!?!
Martin should've had just one nth of Setzer's cool!!!
Wrong opinion
