Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics

The original handwritten lyrics to the classic 1956 Elvis Presley hit song Heartbreak Hotel will all come up for bid in Weiss Auctions’ major online-only auction planned for November 19th-20th.

Description: Heartbreak Hotel was written in October 1955 by Mae Boren Axton, a high school teacher with a background in musical promotion, and Tommy Durden, a Jacksonville singer-songwriter. 

The lyrics were inspired by a newspaper account of a man who committed suicide by jumping to his death from a hotel window, leaving a note that said, “I walk a lonely street.” Axton presented the song to Presley and he loved it, recording the hit in January 1956 for his new label, RCA Victor. 

Axton and Durden’s signed lyrics, in pencil with corrections, is a rare slice of rock’n’roll history.
