Sonny Boy Randy Newman

[Intro]
It's me comin' at you from the land beyond
I'm up here in Heaven where I belong
Gonna tell you my story about a man who's down in Hell
He ain't up here anyway, far as I can tell
This man stole my name, stole my soul
They're so holy up here, they don't understand
But he even tried to steal my jelly roll!
So, here it is, my story
Here it is, from the top

[Verse 1]
My name is Sonny Boy Williamson
I come from Jackson, Tennessee
Being a man named Sonny Boy might bother you
It never bothered me, no
My mother loved me, my wife did, too
I had a dream and the dream come true
I wrote some songs that the people knew
Like, "Good Morning, School Girl" and "Jackson Blue"
Around the time of the Great Migration
The blues run up the river, spread across the nation
I run up with 'em, caused a great sensation!

[Verse 2]
Sellin' biscuits on the radio in Chicago
Out on the West Side to see the sights
Turned the corner, see my name in lights
Said I'd been playing there for fourteen nights
This I had to see
This big old ugly cat was on the stage
Twice my size, about my age
Played six songs, five were mine
If I said he was good, I'd be lyin'
Then he says, "What's my name?"
The crowd says, "Sonny Boy!"
He says, "What's my name?"
They go, "Sonny Boy!"
He says, "What's my name?"
And I said, "Hold it"
