Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I
I remember I was only seventeen The Bohemian and disciple of the streets Or was I another kid searching for identity in '63
Heard it on the radio on a cold night It came burning down the air waves a savior's shinin' light 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 Little did I that nothing in my life would ever be the same
Stayed up all night playin' every 45 tryin' to like you Strummed my guitar in bed till my fingers tryin' to play like you
you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you for the sounds you made you, Sam, thank you, Otis Thank you, Muddy for the we shared And carry on
I saw Otis in 1965 Tears in my eyes as he sung, these of mine But angels needed a soul man for the celestial band They him home (Took you home)
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 that be
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you Muddy for the sounds you Thank you, Sam, thank you, you, Muddy for the times we shared And carry on
If I sentimental it's because this blue-eyed soul boys Got so much My gratitude to you runs deep, proud and I will never
Thank you, Sam, thank you, you Muddy for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, muddy for the times you
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you for the sounds you made Thank you, Sam, thank you, Thank you, muddy for the you gave
Thank you, Sam, you, Sam you, Otis, thank you, Muddy You'll never, fade away
