As recorded by SMILEY LEWIS, 25th October 1955:
One night of sin
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the Earth stand still
Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I've lost my sweet helpin' hand
I've got myself to blame
I've always lived a very quiet life
Never, never did no wrong
Now I know that very quiet life
Will cause me nothin' but harm
One night of sin
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the Earth stand still
(Instrumental Break)
Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I've lost my sweet helpin' hand
I've got myself to blame

As recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY, 23rd February 1957:
One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My love's too strong to hide
Always lived very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Always lived very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
