( Otis Redding & Steve Cropper)

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 is all i know

It has a sweet melody tonight
Anybody can sing it any old time
I touches your heart
Puts you in a groove
And when you sing this song
It'll make your whole body move

It goes -
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn -
My turn
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Your turn now -

All my life i've been singin' sad songs
Tryin' to get my message to you, honey
But that's the only song, y'all
I can sing
And when you get through singin'
My message will be 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 in mind, y'all...
