Rodney Crowell - Elvira Lyrics
Well, tonight I'm gonna meet her at hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the lovin' I can
She's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up two dollars
And we gonna search and find that preacher man
She's got eyes that look like heaven and lips like a cherry wine
And sure nuff how to make a real poor boy feel fine
Yes she's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up two dollars
We gonna search and find that preacher man
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira
She said gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow, hi yo silver away
Well, tonight I'm gonna meet her at hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the lovin' I can
She's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up two dollars
And we gonna search and find that preacher man
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow, hi yo silver away

Rodney Crowell Elvira Comments
this song only went to #95 on the country charts in 1978!!!
There's only one ELVIRA and it's on this Rodney Crowell CLASSIC .
Wow, there was an "Elvira" before THE "Elvira?" lol. And somehow it only hit #95 on the country chart in 1978?
The Oak Ridge Boys totally destroyed this song. That's what happens when a song has to be dumbed down for commercial audiences.
Their version is different. This version isn't even the original, however it preceded the ORB. Dallas Frazier recorded it 1st.
Yes, but as Rodney said on stage last month in Shelby NC, "Other people kept recording my songs and that kept me in business."
"Elvira" is a song written by Dallas Frazier , released in '66. Betcha he was fine with the Oakridge Boys "destroying" his song.
