Russell, Leon - Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics






Oh since my baby left me I've found new place to dwell
Down at the end on Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die
And though it's always crowded you can still find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away the gloom
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die

Well the bellhop's tears keep flowing the deskclerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street they'll never never never get back
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die
So if your baby leaves and you got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die

Oh since my baby left me...

    I hope Mickey Raphael knows just how much we appreciate it when he is featured. LOVE him,

  3. B.... C....

    This is when I was part of the tour, (back stage catering)...... 2 drummers, 2 bassists, Leon's sax player and conga player, Jody, Mickey and the man! My only duty in NYC for the show, was to deliver 10 cs. of Lone Star Beer, to the cast and crew! 3 of my all time favorite days!

  4. M.... H....

    LOVED playing this on my radio show today!

  5. d.... a....

  6. N.... W....

    The King's version is the best but I love this version. Neal Diamond and Kim Carnes do a nice duet of this too.

  7. B.... C....

    From SNL!! My only purpose for being there was to deliver 10 cases of Lone Star beer to the cast and crew of SNL! It was a great time in NYC!

    B.... C....

    >>> Jeez, you lucky bastard.

  8. L.... F....

    Anybody has any idea when did Mickey Raphael joined the Willie Nelson band.

    L.... F....

    circa about 74 or so...saw Mickey in Jerry Jeff Walker's band the same night I first saw Willie in fall of 73, so he hadn't joined Willie yet but did so very shortly thereafter.

    L.... F....

    CasaDexter because his album, Shotgun Willie, was released in 1973 somehow credited Mickey Raphael on harmonica.

    L.... F....

    didn't know that--could be guesting then. all I know is what I saw in fall 73: Mickey played in Jerry Jeff's band that night but he did not play in Willie's.

    L.... F....

    Logo Film mid-70s

  9. p.... b....

  10. E.... D....

  11. E.... D....

    Great version .. love it

  12. S.... R....

    RIP, Leon. My favorite version of this song.

  13. M.... P....

    This was likely from early to mid 1979 as that was when the tour promoting the "One More From the Road" album happened. The band consisted of an eclectic gathering of musicians that included two drummers, Willie's long time drummer, "Me & Paul" English (black hat) and short-timer (from a Willie band member standpoint;) Rex Ludwig (red kit/straw hat), two bass players, Bee Spears RIP (behind Mickey) and - also short timer - Chris Ethridge RIP (far stage left), founding member of the Flying Burrito Bros. I seem to remember the sax player was part of Leon's band at the time... first name Marty (can't remember his last name), Mickey Raphael on harmonica, Jody Payne RIP on guitar/harmony vocals, and of course, Leon on keys. There is someone far upstage right playing what appears to be congas, whom I don't recognize/remember. Hope this helps.

    M.... P....

    The "Marty" is Marty Grebb, one of the founders/songwriters of the Buckinghams, one of the greatest bands to come out of Chicago.

    M.... P....

    And Ambrose Campbell on congas, RIP, who came with Leon and Marty and was actually Leon's spiritual advisor

  14. A.... B....

    All comments not in English will be removed, I have no idea of what your saying , it could be spam or hate for all i know!

    A Blast from the Past kkkkkk
