Soundtrack Sessions - Stay Away, Joe, October 1, 1967
Lyrics: Stay Away Joe ( Weisman - Wayne) Ho jump down, spin around, let's have a party Look who's back, Stay Away Joe Chock taw, chick a Shaw, gonna drink me hearty Welcome back, Stay Away Joe Stay Away Joe they call me Stay Away Joe oh yeah! But if you need me call me Hoop and a holler and I'll be there Ho! Who keeps turnin' up like a bad penny Take one guess, Stay Away Joe Always findin' trouble a-plenty Oh my yes, I reckon you know Stay Away Joe they call me Stay Away Joe oh yeah! But if you need me call me Hoop and a holler and I'll be there Ho! Ho! When two lips are right for the pickin' Who crops up I love them and leave them screamin' 'n kickin' Giddy up look at him look at him go Stay Away Joe they call me Stay Away Joe oh yeah! But if you need me call me Hoop and a holler and I'll be there Ho! Hey! Note's: The live recording of Stay Away, Joe that was released by mistake on the first Camden "Almost in Love" LP is actually the movie version of the song. So contrary to conclusions made in "A Life in Music" ("Elvis sang nineteen takes with the band with no success." ), take 17 probably was considered a success by M.G.M. The movie harmonica opening and the full band end title may have been recorded on this session. The original demos of "Stay Away, Joe", and "All I Needed Was The Rain" were performed by Glen Campell.

Truly a "different sounding" song.....Not a favorite by a long shot, but enjoyable all the same!
Another great, informative post, Steve......Thanks! (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) --------------------  "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem" -Ronald Reagan (Jan. 20, 1981) |

A happy enough song but one that just doesn't work for me even though Elvis seems to be doing his best to enjoy it.

the composers added new lyrics to an old tune " pick a bale o' cotton " as originally recorded by Huddie Leadbetter in 1935

(IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) I just love this song! I don't know, Elvis, singing this song actually feels like he's having fun doing it....Truly a up beat and fun fun song, I also believe that Elvis had fun making "Stay away, Joe"...great info Steve!
