Lewis, Jerry Lee - Wild Side Of Life Lyrics

He got booted out of the UK in the 70s,Married his 13 year old cousin,

inspiration to sing and play the guitar...

Classic

Love the thumbnail to this video of his wife sitting on the piano :)

Lol I get you

One of a kind with a sound all his own👍

'The Mercury Years', at least, that would make one hell of a good title. The Killer came back stronger than he had ever been before and pick up a much larger audience in the process.

Great song great voice

A giant of an album. Just amazing.

Jerry lee one of the greatest!

love Jerry Lee!

I GONNA SEE IF MINE WANNA ROLL N CURVE WITH OLD DAD

Buy the HOUSE A FUCKIN ROUND ON ME

There's only one killer Lord bless him today with health and strength amen

THANKS loved it.ummm song a fav of mine goes back to the 50s for this gramma saw Jerry once when he came o my city in MASS. Liked vudeo to

Really a great cover of my long time friend, Hank Thompson's famous tune of he early 1950's!! Jerry Lee was not only a great singer & piano player, but one fabulous entertainer. Great post!! Thanks a lot!!

Lordy, I love this man's voice and style. His piano playing is why the piano was invented.

My lovely idol Elvis and Killer !!!rrrrrrrrrrr😊

The KING at his best.

BRILLIANT

Great song!

Great cover of a great old song, & will last for ever ~ Arthur

Still Great.

He is superb voice and piano playing who is as good can't think of anyone.

++Irene Mccann
The only other singer of Country songs who could create as much emotional impact as, or maybe even more, was Ray Charles. None of the others, including Hank Williams, Patsy Cline or whoever else you want to name, could pack such an emotional punch as Jerry Lee.

This tune has several titles. All are good. Love this one!!! NH

Another good version of this lovely song, > Check out my version , also good ~ Arthur

++arinvests
This the Best version of this song, as so many of his versions of other songs are also the best.

I agree, ~ Arthur

arinvests check out my YouTube comment. It's also good.

Will do

Absolutely loved his piano

So realy great Jerry Lee🎤🎹🎹🎹💕👍

Perfect!

Great!!  Thanks for posting.

Jerry Lee could sing the phone book & it would be a million seller!!

A M E N

Pas mal

Orbie Olsson nice one

As long as he could rhyme it with "Jerry Lee".

nice version, but status quo is better because when quo sings this song it make you wanna dance

++Trevor Hedges
Strange criterion by which to judge a song that is about heartbreak and loss. Status Quo give it a Rock beat but damn all else. Absolutely no emotion, no feeling. They literally might as well be singing words out of a phone book. Surely you'd listen to Jerry Lee's version for something other than just something to dance to. By nearly all criteria, apart that of dancing, JLL'd version is far superior. It's actually also very suitable for a slow, smoochy dance that Status Quo is unsuitable for.

Status Quo would have to stand on Jerry's piano to kiss his butt.

silly comment and childish

Jerry Lee still has it!! He is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

thank you

A great Hank Thompson hit done again by the great Jerry Lee Lewis nothing better

This is the great speckled bird rhythm

Not only rhythm , chords and melody too :-)

Hard to believe that this recording is over fifty years old! There are no new superlatives to describe Jerry Lee Lewis. Quite simply, musically speaking, he can do no wrong.

When & who did he murder?

Jewel Dotson his ex wife

Really what was her name & how can I find a report on this?

Thanks very much.

Hard to beat this version.

++john gray
You canna beat this version!

Status quo i think is just as good if not better.. Dont get me wrong this is also Brilliant too

This version makes you want to tap your feet .. but Status Quo version makes you want to swing your body

+Trevor Hedges
The singing on the Quo version is very much subordinate to the laying down of a heavy Rock beat. There's absolutely no emotion coming through. The lyrics could be gibberish and it wouldna matter at all. Jerry Lee conveys pain and suffering.

Trevor Hedges a little

Superb. I'd love to see him doing this live.

This song was on JLL's early album - The entire album is priceless if you like his music.

++Tom Barry
I bought a CD years ago titled "Killer" and it had this track and a lot of other great Country tracks on it including Another Place Another Time, What Made Milwaukee famous, Break My Mind, Swinging Doors. A great album, and the first I'd heard Jerry Lee singing Country as opposed to his early Rock. For me he's the best Country singer of the lot.

Just brilliant - emotional - foot tapping - melodic - everything you could want from a piece of music - never known anyone else fit voice and instrument together so perfectly as Jerry Lee

Good ole Jerry Lee. THX Gurkan...

Love, love, love him and this song!!
