First recording I heard of it was by Jimmy C. Newman in 1973.Great song.Some caught a freight,some caught a plane ,find the sunshine ease the rain
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane....found sunshine in the rain.....
Some's gotta win, some's gotta loose; good time charlie's got the blues....
Here's the lyrics to the song as Elvis sang it!:
Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
(words & music by danny okeefe)
Everybodys gone away
Said theyre movin to LA
There's not a soul I know around
Everybodys leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this town will waste their time
I guess theyre right, it's wasting mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
You know my heart keeps tellin me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around you'll lose your wife
You play it too long, you'll lose your life
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
This was a great question, fun to answer! Thank you!

Finding an Identity.
Leaving with no empathy.
Just like the ones that said before...
This is not my home anymore.
Reaching for possible outcomes, with none in site.
But then a shining beacon in the dark, gives a shed of light.
A mystical face shows their scars.
Letting me find another.
Some would call this... growing up.
Maybe I misunderstood the question, but hey, if anything I reached into my heart. haha.
some caught a freight some caught a plane. Sunshine flowers need the rain. Goodtime Charlie's Got The Blues
I never heard of Elvis Presley singing this song. I only know Danny O'Keefe's recording of it, which was the only hit he ever had.
Love this song, its by Danny O'Keefe
i love the Charlie Rich version
I just love Leon Russels version of this song...brb. gotta hear it now. Thanks.
Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
Some Caught a friend, Some Caught a plane...
No one "called", it's "caught"
Some caught a freight, some caught a train
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
Elvis' version of this song is remarkable -- although he omitted the line, "I've got my pills to ease the pain / Can't find a thing to ease the rain," which is ironic in hindsight.
