The house began to rock with and his bow The hootchy kootchy man's lonely harp to blow did I know that nothing in my life would ever be the same

you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, Muddy for the we shared And carry on

Oh, I'd give to see that red mohair suit and hear of the bay Or Sam in his two tone singin', bring it on back What a show would be
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you Muddy for the you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, Muddy for the we shared And they on
If I sound sentimental it's because this blue-eyed boys Got so much My to you runs deep, proud and true I will never
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you Muddy for the you made you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you, for the times you gave
Thank you, Sam, you, Otis Thank you for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, you, muddy for the times you gave
Thank you, Sam, you, Sam Thank you, Otis, thank you, You'll never, never fade
