Always on My Mind is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee and first released by Gwen McCrae (as You Were Always on My Mind) in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. Elvis Presley's recording was the first commercially successful version of the song.

AllMusic lists more than 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers. While Lee's version reached no. 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the Top 20 on the country and/or pop charts in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley (1972, US country; UK pop Top Ten); John Wesley Ryles (1979, US country) and Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version (1982, US/Canada country number one; US/Canada pop Top Ten); and the Pet Shop Boys' 1987 hi-NRG/synth-pop interpretation (UK number one; US Top Ten).

This arrangement of what is a beautiful song is suitable for players of around Grade 4 ABRSM or equivalent.

By Christopher Alexander and Kelsei Peppars. By African-American Spiritual. Arranged by Christopher Alexander. Christian,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual. 16 pages. Christopher Alexander #852676. Published by Christopher Alexander (A0.1260159).

Using the familiar spiritual sung around many campfires, this arrangement preserves that invigorated spirit in an uptempo backbeat (boom-chick) rendition.  The violin becomes utilized as a ukulele, held on its side while its strings are strummed across the fingerboard, while the piano performs the melody.  The arrangement ends with a key change and embellished build to the final chord hit from both instruments.  You and your audience will have lots of fun with this work!
