A Tribute to a King |
Listen, people, listen |
I’m gonna sing you a song |
About a man who lived good |
But didn’t live too long |
He was born in Macon, Georgia |
A poor boy without a dime |
He found his way to Memphis |
Singing These Arms Of Mine |
Otis, Otis Redding was his name |
Without his soulful singing |
This old world won’t be the same |
Now he traveled on to Frisco |
New York and abroad |
Everywhere he sang |
The people would applaud |
One day he left Georgia |
Wisconsin bound |
But he didn’t get to sing that night |
The plane he was in went down |
He was a soul music singer |
The king of the Memphis sound |
It makes me feel so sad |
Cause now he ain’t around |
He died with his guitar |
Close to his hands |
But his soul lives on today |
In the heart of a million fans |
Taking about |
Otis, Otis Redding was his name |
His picture oughta be hung |
In the music hall of fame |
Otis, he was known as Big O |
Otis, we gonna miss him so |
Otis, ooh, yeah |
We gonna miss him so |
