Elvis Presley: "Blue Christmas" Cover
"Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. The heart-broken tale of unrequited love during the holidays had long been considered a Christmas staple of country music, having been recorded by Ernest Tubb in 1948. In 1957, Elvis Presley effectively made "Blue Christmas" a steadfast rock-and-roll holiday classic by recording it in his signature style. Elvis Presley's famous recording of the song appeared on his 1957 LP Elvis' Christmas Album. It was also released as a single. Ernest Tubb's version of the song included an extra verse not used by Elvis' later version.

Blue Christmas lyrics
Elvis Presley
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you,
I'll be so blue just thinking about you.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree,
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me.
And when those blue snowflakes start falling,
That's when those blue memories start calling.
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas all white,
but I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.
(Instrumental Break)
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas all white,
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas all white,
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.
