Cole, Cooke & Redding - Wilson Pickett

作词：Dick Holler

A wonderful lady whom I admire very much

By the name of moms mabley

Sung a song about a lot of great men

But you know somehow I still feel

That there's a lot of great men to be sung about

I've got some friends ladies and gentlemen

Who have gone home before me

And I hope you don't mind if I take a little time

Now to tell you about them

Anybody here seen my friend nat king cole

Can you tell me where nat has gone

The last thing I heard him say

He was gonna look back over his life

And before he could do it he was gone

Oh before he could do it he was gone

And has anybody here seen my friend sam cooke

Can anybody tell me where sam has gone

The last thing he told me that a change was gonna come

But before he could see it he was gone

Oh before he could see it he was gone oh yeah

I've got another friend by the name of otis redding

Can anybody tell me where otis has gone

Last time I saw him he was sitting down by the dock of the bay

I looked around for otis and he was gone

I looked around and my friend otis redding was gone

Hmm hmm oh I have to moan about it sometime hmm

And that makes me know I've got to leave here one day

But I don't worry about it for you know why

I've got friends oh yes I have waiting on me

You know what they're gonna say when I get there

They will say come on in pickett sit down and rest awhile

I know you're tired I know you came from a mighty long ways

I know you've had hard times

I know you had to give up life for long

Come on in ow don't worry no more

We will stand by you we will never let you down oh oh

Come on in come on in sit down sit down
