It's me coming 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 there 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

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 and across the nation

I run up with 'em caused a great sensation

Selling 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 14 nights

This I had to see

This 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 lying

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

My name is Sonny Boy Williamson

The one from Jackson Tennessee

Don't know who you are or where you come from

But one thing I do know you ain't me son

I looked in his eyes and they was red

As was the rang tang hair dye all over his head

Scared me so bad I ran outside

And I looked for a place to hide

Ran round a corner smack into a robbery

They were shooting at each other but they hit me

Next thing I know I came up here

In the middle of my 34th year

Now I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven

Makes me kinda sad

I'm the only one died so young

Didn't have the time to do nothing bad

As for Sonny Boy 2 the man who stole my name

Went on to glory fortune and fame

He's the one who went to England

Try to teach those English boys the blues

He said What do I have to lose

Well it killed him yeah it killed him

I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven

And I'm lonely as can be

Lord if you're listening hear my plea

Send down a Bluesman to play the blues with me

This is Sonny Boy Williamson Number One

That's my story I'm done
