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

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

but wherever he at

i know he enjoyin' hisself

my friend which for have passed on

mr. sonny boy william. and mr. sonny boy
