Elvis recorded this song on : January 14, 1973. Live. At the at the Honolulu International Center Arena. In Hawaii. From His famous : Aloha from Hawaii concert. Live via. satelitte. Elvis wrote entertainment and TV history this day. He was the very first entertainer, ever, to do a satellite show. It was sent, to over 40 countries all over the world, and is seen by more, than the first steps on the moon is. Elvis Donated over dollars to the cancer fond. With some of the sales money from the show. This song, You gave me a mountain, is obviously sung to priscilla. Because she had left him, about a year earlier. It's aviable on : Elvis: Standing Room Only, Aloha from Hawaii, Elvis Presley Unchained Melody, Elvis In Concert and on : elvis Aloha from Hawaii- which is where this version is from. It's written by: Marty Robbins. (lyrics: ) Born in the heat of the desert My mother died giving me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I never done It's been one hill after another I've climbed them all one by one But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time My woman got tired of heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time Disclaimer: NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED! I just make some little movies, with some clips, and pictures and tunes, because i love elvis and think its fun! :)
