The Oak Ridge Boys Join Home Free For A Blow-You-Away Performance Of ‘Elvira’!

Home Free YouTube Channel

Elvira, Elvira, my heart’s on fire, for Elvira…

Home Free Vocal Band got to join ranks with the legendary Oak Ridge Boys for a fantastic performance of their signature song, “Elvira”. And when we say you’ll be blown away, we mean it. We already know how talented the Home Free guys are thanks to their phenomenal renditions of tunes like Josh Turner’s “Your Man” and Rascal Flatt’s “Life Is A Highway”, but we didn’t realize what could be born from a joint performance like this one.

Written by Dallas Frazier, “Elvira” was released in 1981 on The Oak Ridge Boys’ Fancy Free album. Several artists have recorded their own version, including Kenny Rogers, but the most notable version is definitely that of The Oak Ridge Boys, as it reached the #1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and has since then become a timeless classic.

This may just be one of Home Free’s best performances. Once you start watching, it’s practically impossible to tear your eyes away from the screen. Their mixture of voices, old and new, really is a recipe for success. 

Heigh-ho Silver, away…

ELVIRA LYRICS

Elvira, Elvira, my heart’s on fire, for Elvira.

Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
That girl can so not make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin’ up and down my spine
‘Cause I know that my Elvira’s mine.
So I’m singin’

Elvira, Elvira, my heart’s on fire, for Elvira
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away.

Tonight I’m gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
I’m gonna give her all the love I can, yes I am.
She’s gonna jump and holler
Cause I’ve saved up my last two dollars
We’re gonna search and find that preacher man.
And I’m singin’

Elvira, Elvira, my heart’s on fire, for Elvira
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow/
Heigh-ho Silver, away.

Elvira, Elvira, my heart’s on fire, for Elvira
