He covered Early Morning Rain...that's the only one I'm aware of..
OK Laurel now be aware of another on (I believe) a fairly recently issued compilation set:-
(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me recorded by Elvis on Monday, 15 March, 1971
Written by: Lightfoot
Originally recorded by Gordon Lightfoot in 1964
Hear Elvis's version on: Walk A Mile In My Shoes -- The Essential 70's Masters Disc 3
and moreover if you go to Amazon's page
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002WUD/q id=1099669237/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-2290065-2227243#product-details
and scroll down to the track listing for disc3 there is a short (30 second) clip of the King's version!!
Gordon Lightfoot recorded his own version shortly before Peter, Paul and Mary's hit version of 1964, but his recording was not released until 1966. (See also "Early Morning Rain.")
although at:-
http://www.letssingit.com/?http://www.letssingit.com/elvis-pres ley-for-lovin-me-thats-what-you-get-63q2ghs.html
you can read the lyrics headed by this remarkably ill-informed claim
"For Lovin' Me (That's What You Get)
by Elvis Presley"
