Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock (1957) (words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) There's no joy in my heart,only sorrow And I'm sad as a man can be I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room And this room is a prison to me I look at window and what to I see I see a bird way up in the tree I want to be free free Free - ee - ee - ee I want to be free like the bird in the tree
