Elvis Presley - Talk About The Good Times

Well I remember when I was as children

The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow

man

And all their singin' and big prayer meetin's

When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbors

hand

Oh you talk about the good times,

Talk about the good times

Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there

Some good neighbor

Help lift your burden

Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share

Times are harder and the people are changin'

Now most folks couldn't tell you who their neighbors are

All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted

Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times,

Talk about the good times

I wish I could go back to the days I'm speakin of

When a friend would meet you

And a smile would greet you

What this ol' world needs now is a little old fashioned love

My granddaddy God rest his soul now

Well we had a big long talk together the day he died

Said son this world is full of hate and venom

An' I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other

side

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days

We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days

We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days

We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Nice comment. Do you have a picture of Jesse Presley? Do you have one of Gladys's Dad? In passing, I just can't keep from saying that Elvis could still cut it till his last concert in '73. Matter of fact, it could be argued that he can still cut it. :-) He does sing with the voice of an angel---most specially his gospel. :-)

Pepe, I am proud to say I am an ORIGINAL fan of Elvis Presley's and let me say I loved your video. You picked a very underrated Elvis tune written by the great Jerry Reed to shwcase the "good times" in The King's life and there were many. My only suggestion would have been to insert a picture of Jesse Presley (Vernon's father) to insert in the "my grandaddy" line. Otherwise, perfect. Cheers from Jersey, Guy Kent, singer @ CBSEye p.s. Elvis could still cut it in '73 when this track was recorded

Thank you soooo much for this posting!!! I have loved Elvis for 55 years now, but I just recently heard this song. It is so incredibly awesome--both the message and the music. And as you might guess, I had the good fortune to have lived The Good Times---so this song is especially meaningful to me--nostalgic memories.
