Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I
I when I was only seventeen The poet and disciple of the streets Or was I another kid searching for identity in '63
it on the radio on a cold December night It came burning down the air waves like a shinin' light All the way from the U.S.A, across the Far the magic came
The house began to with cupid and his bow The hootchy kootchy man's lonely harp to blow Little did I that nothing in my life would ever be the same
up all night playin' every 45 tryin' to sound like you Strummed my guitar in bed till my fingers bled tryin' to like you
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the sounds you Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, for the times we shared And carry on
I saw Otis back in Tears in my eyes as he sung, these of mine But angels needed a man for the celestial blues band took him home (Took you home)
Oh, what I'd to see that red mohair suit and hear of the bay Or Sam in his two tone singin', it on back home What a show would be
Thank you, Sam, thank you, you Muddy for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you, Muddy for the times we And carry on
If I sound sentimental it's because this blue-eyed soul Got so much My gratitude to you deep, proud and true I will never
you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the sounds you Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you, muddy for the times you
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the sounds you 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 fade
