Elvis Presley An American Trilogy
"An American Trilogy" is a song arranged by country songwriter Mickey Newbury and made popular by Elvis Presley. Presley began performing the song in concert in 1972≈a February recording was released by RCA as a single.
Presley performed the song in his 1973 international satellite telecast "Elvis≈Aloha from Hawaii". "An American Trilogy" is a medley of three 19th century songs≈"Dixie", a blackface minstrel song that became the unofficial anthem of the U.S. South since the Civil War; "All My Trials", originally a Bahamian lullaby, but closely related to African American spirituals, and well-known through folk music revivalists; and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", the marching song of the U.S. North during the Civil War.
The song is referenced and partially sung in the Manic Street Preachers' song "Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier" from the Everything Must Go album, and is covered by Manowar on their Warriors of the World album.
Lyrics for An American Trilogy
performed by Elvis Presley
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord will soon be over
