"You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone"[1] (or "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone") is a song by Elvis Presley. It made it into the top 10 of U.S. Billboard's C&W Best Sellers in Stores chart.[2]
Composition
Musically, it is a rockabilly ballad. Originally Elvis Presly recorded it in a new arrangement, but the version that was released was "something of a novelty", which "was more in line with the commecial considerations of the day".[3]
Mike Eder in his Elvis Music FAQ finds the recording too polished and too similar to other Elvis' songs of that time:
On the other hand, in the case of “I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone,” the rough edges should perhaps have been left on. It's unwise to place the blame for this totally on Sam, since Elvis did after all willingly work on the completed master. Yet it's almost uncanny how close this flip side sounded, mood-wise, to "You're a Heartbreaker" before it and "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" after. That "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" has more of asparkle to itthan the other two titles shouldn't be overlooked, but upon hearing the outtake, one can't help but feel that some of the life was ultimately polished out of it.
