Soldier Boy by Elvis Presley is a unique gem in his legendary discography. Recorded in 1960 for his album Elvis Is Back! after returning from military service in Germany, this song highlights Elvis’s artistic versatility.

While often celebrated as the King of Rock and Roll, Soldier Boy is a rare instance where Elvis explores the doo-wop style, showcasing his ability to blend various American music genres seamlessly. The track reflects not only his post-military experiences but also his lasting musical talent and range.

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
