Testo Cole, Cooke & Redding - Wilson Pickett
Testo della canzone Cole, Cooke & Redding (Wilson Pickett), tratta dall'album Wilson Pickett: A Man and a Half
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 or another I still feel
That there's a lot of great men to be sung about
I got some friends, ladies and gentlemen
Who have gone on before me
And I hope you don't mind
If I take a little time out to tell you about them
Anybody here
Seen my friend Nat Cane Crow?
Can you tell me where have he's 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 Cook?
Can anybody tell me where Sam has gone?
The last thing he told me
That a change was gonna come
Oh, before he could see it, he was gone
Oh, before he could see it, he was gone, oh yeah
I got another friend
By the name of Otis Redding, Lord
Can anybody tell me where Otis has gone?
Last time I saw him
He was sitting down by the dock of the bay
Oh, I looked around for Otis and he was gone
I looked around and my friend Otis Redding was gone
Hmmmm, mmm, Lord
Oh, I have to mourn about it sometime
Hmmmm, ooh
And that lets me know I got to leave here one day
But I'm not worried about it
You know why?
I got friends, oh yes I have, waitin' on me
You know what they're gonna say
When I get there, they're gonna say
"Come on in, Pickett
Sit down and rest a while
I know you're tired
I know you came from a mighty long ways
I know you had hard times
I know you had to give up right for wrong
Come on in, oh, oh, oh
Don't worry no more
We gonna stand by you
We ain't gonna never let you down
Oh, oh, oh
Come on in, come on in
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down"
