Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I
I remember when I was only The Bohemian and disciple of the streets Or was I just another kid searching for in '63
Heard it on the radio on a cold December It came burning down the air waves like a savior's shinin' All the way the U.S.A, across the Atlantic Far the magic came
The began to rock with cupid and his bow The hootchy kootchy lonely harp began to blow Little did I know that in my life would ever be the same
Stayed up all night playin' 45 tryin' to sound like you Strummed my guitar in bed till my fingers bled tryin' to play you
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis you Muddy for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you, Muddy for the we shared And carry on
I saw Otis in 1965 Tears in my eyes as he sung, arms of mine But angels needed a soul man for the blues band They him home (Took you home)
Oh, what I'd give to see red mohair suit and hear of the bay Or Sam in his two singin', bring it on back home a show that would be
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, Muddy for the times we And they on
If I sound sentimental it's because blue-eyed soul boys Got so much My gratitude to you runs deep, and true I never forget
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis you Muddy for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you, muddy for the you gave
you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, for the times you gave
you, Sam, thank you, Sam Thank you, Otis, thank you, You'll never, never away
