Memphis, Tenn. -- The rights to the purported last remaining unreleased and unpublished song by Elvis Presley have been put up for auction on eBay. Songwriter Paul Terry King, who also co-wrote Elvis' song "Idabel" and Alabama's "Love in the Third Degree," has decided to sell his 50% interest in another song he co-wrote with Elvis in 1973, "If I'd Only Bought Her Roses." King said he has lost possession of the only tape recording of Elvis performing the song. A minority interest in the song is also owned by Robert FX Sillerman, founder of concert promoter SFX Entertainment, who paid $100 million in December to Lisa Marie Presley to acquire a controlling stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises. A starting bid of $10,000 on eBay (item #4074240562) is being asked for the rights to half of "If I'd Only Bought Her Roses."
