294的鼓 239站台

此曲於1954由盛地的R&B合唱The Eagles ( 非1971於洛杉成立的Eagles )首行。次年，王Elvis Presley也唱此曲，不，王前後共了5版本，而只有1955年7月的第2版本，有在他的生前行。另有趣的是，收在1999行的《Sunrise》中的版本，王拿手的吉他而自琴，被作人奏的不水，部份完全消音。

在王的版本之後，亦有多位翻唱者，像是：Roy Orbison with The Teen Kings、Ricky Nelson及Johnny Rivers等等。而Paul McCartney依此曲，之改成另首《In Spite of All the Danger》，也是The Beatles合唱的前身---The Quarrymen所正式的第一首歌曲。

美歌手人Phil Seymour1980的版本。(1993死於淋巴癌，享年41。)


《Tryin’ to Get to You》
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that I've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.
