''The original singer of "Hound Dog" is American blues and R&B artist Big Mama Thornton (Willie Mae Thornton). She recorded the track on August 13, 1952, and it was released in early 1953.
While Elvis Presley made the song a global rock-and-roll phenomenon when he released his version in 1956, Thornton’s original recording—produced by Johnny Otis and written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller—was a massive R&B hit''
I never asked to be a mountain, I never asked to fly Remember when you came to me and told me of his lie? You didn't understand my love, you don't know why I try
And rain was falling on that day, and I'm the reason why
The flying placey sails the tide and tells me of my child Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache, he begs me just to smile Oh, he never asked to be a mountain, he never asked to fly And through his eye he combs his love and tells him not to cry
She says, "Your scoundrel father flies with a dancer called the queen And with her stolen cards he plays and laughs but never wins" Oh, the child dreams to be his hands in the counting of his pain But only barren breasts he feels for her milk will never drain
As I fly I can't remember Where I saw the rain Could it be that a laughter drove me down again?
Charming dancer, will you stop, stop and talk to me? Is it me that you feel in your dreams, or will you see? In midnight gazes I found you far from me If you lead me on, please lead me down
Oh, flying, flying fish, please flutter by my door Yes, you can drink my lines, but first you read my eyes Each one is titled "I'm Drowning Back to You" I can't swim your waters and you can't walk my lands I'm sailing all your sins and I'm climbing all my fears And soon I will die
I never asked to be a mountain, I never asked to fly Remember when you came to me and told me of his lie? You didn't understand my love, you don't know why I try
