Tribute To A Friend

A tribute song from Jimmy Reed to

Sonny Boy Williamson

All lyrics spoken:

Now listen, I wanna 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.
