by Otis Redding
on Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul (1966)
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
I keep singing them sad, sad songs, y'all
Sad songs is all I know
I keep singing them sad, sad songs, y'all
Sad songs are all I know
It has a sweet melody tonight
Anybody can sing it any old time
What in your heart puts you in a groove
And when you sing this song
It'll make you're whole body move, it goes
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn
Our turn
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn, now
All my life I've been singing them sad songs
Trying to get my message to you
But this is the only song, y'all, I can sing
And when I get to singing my message to you, it goes
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn, now
It's a lovely song, y'all
Sweet music, honey
It's just a line, oh but
It tells a story, baby
You got to get the message
A stone message, honey
A lovely line, baby
I'm worried in mind, watch me
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn
Everybody's turn, everybody
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, one more time
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, worried alive, y'all
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
