I Got a Feelin' in My Body:

The song is written by Dennis Linde and recorded by Elvis on December 10, 1973, at Stax Studios in Memphis. Recorded between 9pm and 4:30am, togheter with the song It's Midnight.

Composer Linde was overdubbed on guitar at a later date. The single had no overdubbing.

The Lyrics might have been spiritual, but the playing cooked, and Elvis was totally caught up in the excitement. After a few tempo adjustments and several good takes, Elvis's voice began to wear thin on the seventh try. The playback confirmed that they already had everthing they where looking for on take three, so it was transferred to the master reel.

First Single Release (b/w There's a Honky Tonk Angel): August 1979
First LP Release : Good Times, March 1974.
Later LP Released: Our Memories Of Elvis Vol. 2

Lyrics:

(Linde)

When Moses walked the children out of Egypt land
Said now don't you worry, we're in the Lord's hands
He's gonna walk beside us, the time is comin' near
He's gonna wash away all our misery and our fear

I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
We'll be releasing all our sorrow
Leave it layin' along the way

When Daniel faced the lion there wasn't any doubt
You got to be like Daniel and the Lord will help us out

I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
We'll be releasing all our sorrow
Leave it layin' along the way

Won't you lift your eyes up children
Lift them to the sky
Heaven stands before you, gates are open wide
Shelter for the weary, comfort for the weak
We'll leave the devil's evil, sweatin' on the street

I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
We'll be releasing all our sorrow
Leave it layin' along the way

Won't you lift your eyes up children
Lift them to the sky
Heaven stands before you, gates are open wide
Shelter for the weary, comfort for the weak
Leave the devils evil, sweatin' on the street

I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
We'll be releasing all our sorrow
Leave it layin' along the way

I wanna know, I wanna know,
I wanna know right now, I wanna know
Yeah. yeah, I got a feel
I got a feelin' I got a feelin'

I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
We'll be releasing all our sorrow
Leave it layin' along the way
