Soldier Boy by Elvis Presley is a unique gem in the legendary artist’s discography. Recorded in 1960 for his album “Elvis Is Back!” after his return from military service in Germany, this song showcases Elvis’s versatility as an artist.

While he is primarily known as the King of Rock and Roll, “Soldier Boy” is one of the few instances where Elvis embraced the doo-wop style, offering a glimpse into his ability to seamlessly blend various strands of American music. This track not only reflects his post-military experiences but also highlights his enduring musical prowess.

Lyrics

Soldier boy why feel blueDon’t you believe that she will be trueIt’s written in the bookThat she was meant for only you

Soldier boy tell me why do you cryWhen you return she’ll rush to your sideIt’s written in the bookThat she was meant for only you

So prove your love is trueShe’ll be there to say I doAnd if you go o’er sea or landShe’ll make you understand

While you’re gone oh try to believeHer love for you is really for realIt’s written in the bookThat she was meant for only you

So prove your love is trueShe’ll be there to say I doAnd if you go o’er sea or landShe’ll make you understand

While you’re gone oh try to believeHer love for you is really for realIt’s written in the bookThat she was meant for only youSoldier boy
