Muddy, Sam And Otis Lyrics - Rod Stewart

Oh, yeah, I know, I know 

I remember when I was only seventeen 

The bohemian poet and disciple of the streets 

Or was I just a little kid 

Searching for identity 

In '63 

Heard it on the radio on a cold December night 

It came burning down the air waves like a Savior's shining light 

All the way from the U. S. A. 

Across the Atlantic far away 

The magic came 

The house began to rock with Cupid and his bow 

The Hootchie Cootchie Man's lonely harp began to blow 

Little did I know that 

Nothing in my life 

Would ever be the same

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Stayed up all night playing every forty-five 

Trying to sound like you 

Strummed my guitar in bed 'til my fingers bled 

Trying to play like you 

(Chorus) 

Thank you Sam, thank you Otis 

Thank you Muddy 

For the sounds you made 

Thank you Sam, thank you Otis 

Thank you Muddy 

For the times we shared 

And they carry on 

I saw Otis back in 1965 

Tears in my eyes as he sun "These Arms Of Mine" 

But the angels needed a soul man 

For their celestial blues band 

And took him home 

Oh, what I'd give to see that red mohair suit 

And hear "Dock Of The Bay" 

Or Sam in his two-tone singing "Bring It On Back Home" 

What a show that would be 

(Chorus) 

If I sound sentimental 

It's because this blue-eyed soul boy's 

Got so much respect 

My gratitude to you 

Runs deep, proud and true 

I will never forget 

(Chorus-2) 2x 

Thank you Sam, thank you Otis 

Thank you Muddy 

For the sounds you made 

Thank you Sam, thank you Otis 

Thank you Muddy 

For the times you gave 

Thank you Sam, thank you Sam 

Thank you Otis, thank you Muddy 

You'll never, never fade away
