Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I
I remember when I was seventeen The poet and disciple of the streets Or was I just kid searching for identity in '63
Heard it on the on a cold December night It came burning down the air waves like a savior's shinin' All the way from the U.S.A, across the Far the magic came
The house began to rock with and his bow The hootchy kootchy man's harp began to blow did I know that nothing in my life would ever be the same
Stayed up all night playin' every 45 to sound like you Strummed my guitar in bed till my fingers bled tryin' to play you
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you for the sounds you made you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you, Muddy for the times we And carry on
I saw Otis back in in my eyes as he sung, these arms of mine But angels needed a man for the celestial 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 tone singin', it on back home What a show that be
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis 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 blue-eyed soul boys Got so respect My gratitude to you runs deep, proud and I will forget
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you Muddy for the sounds you Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you, muddy for the times you
Thank you, Sam, thank you, you Muddy for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, muddy for the you gave
Thank you, Sam, you, Sam Thank you, Otis, you, Muddy You'll never, fade away
