Witchcraft
Elvis Presley · Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 4
Please stop it now
You know I canÂ’t take it
Please stop it now
My head is spinning a spell on me now
My head is spinning around and around
My head is spinning around and around
Your witchcraft has got me
Keep going down and down
Let me forget her, donÂ’t mention her name
You know it brings back that old burning flame
It hurts to know that she doesnÂ’t feel the same
I canÂ’t go on since she left me alone
My one desire now is to cry, now to cry
She might come back one day by and by and by

Recorded in the mid-1960s, the song blends folk and country influences with a distinctive, brooding vocal delivery that captures the era's shifting musical landscape.

The recording highlights his ability to adapt his style to different genres while maintaining his signature charisma. As part of his extensive discography, "Witchcraft" remains a notable example of his work during the mid-60s, reflecting his commitment to artistic exploration and his enduring appeal across diverse musical contexts.
