Tribute to a Friend Songtext
All lyrics spoken:
Now listen, I want to tell ya sump'em.
I'm gonna play this one for a old friend of mine.
A old friend called, Sonny Boy William.
He's done passed on the other side, now, but
Wherever he's at, I know he is swingin'.
And I know he enjoyin' hisself,
And Sonny Boy, this is for you from, Jimmy Reed!
I know that they been scratchin' their back an'
Now listen, I want to tell ya sump'em.
I'm gonna play this one for a old friend of mine.
A old friend called, Sonny Boy William.
He's done passed on the other side, now, but
Wherever he's at, I know he is swingin'.
And I know he enjoyin' hisself,
And Sonny Boy, this is for you from, Jimmy Reed!
I know that they been scratchin' their back an'
Clippin' their toenails an' gettin' buck bare-feeted
And all that ole kinda jive. But ladies and gentleman,
I wouldn't have you to do none of that for me.
I just want you to sit back and relax and cool it an'
Take it easy, an'listen at me play these blues.
Well now, I guess I'll play this for a old friend a mine,
Oh man, Sonny Boy William. He is passed on now,
But wherever he at, I know he enjoyin' hisself, an'this,
I'm playin' for, my friend which for have passed on,
Mr. Sonny Boy William. And Mr. Sonny Boy, this is for YOU
And all that ole kinda jive. But ladies and gentleman,
I wouldn't have you to do none of that for me.
I just want you to sit back and relax and cool it an'
Take it easy, an'listen at me play these blues.
Well now, I guess I'll play this for a old friend a mine,
Oh man, Sonny Boy William. He is passed on now,
But wherever he at, I know he enjoyin' hisself, an'this,
I'm playin' for, my friend which for have passed on,
Mr. Sonny Boy William. And Mr. Sonny Boy, this is for YOU
REED, JIMMY
