Yeah, this is the story of Sonny Boy Williamson
I'm gonna have with me M.T. Murphy on guitar
Billy Stepanian on drums
I was born in this small town they call Glendora, Mississippi
That's in Tallahatchie County
But the boys up states made it possible for Sonny Boy
To go from land to land and from state to state
And I hope I'm not making no mistake with you kind friends
I'm gonna tell you like it is
I was born 1897 in this small town, Glendora, Mississippi
A few days later I came to the States with no mistake
ย
Berlin and home, oh boys, one city I never seen before
But they made it possible for me
And through Memphis Slim and Big Bill Broderick
Made the way I got lucky, got my passport
So I could travel the country, boys, and that's not no joke
I've been everywhere God got some land
Seen some everybody, had some of everything
ย
I've been from the rocky shore of Maine
Seen everybody, had some everything
From coast to coast, you dig this remorse
I enjoyed myself, so right now I'm out of the States
Over here in these people's country, boys, it great
I've been treated so kind, I don't want to leave
Because it's so fine
My manager made it possible for me
To get over the Straits all overseas
Berlin, Guam, Guadalcanal, I made it swell
ย
You know tomorrow night I'm going over in Sweden
Then we gonna transfer back to Copenhagen
And then we going from there to Hagenburg
And that's so fine
