He was born, oh, he was born, he was born to wail.
A little town called Helena, Arkansas/ Radio KFFA
King Buiscuit Flour Hour/ broadcasted every day
The host was Willie Rice Miller/ But he called himself Sonny Boy He
wrote and sang and blew that axe / To the whole dang Deltaıs joy.
He was born, he was born, he was born to wail.
Sonny Boy, Little Walter, Sonny Terry/ Big Walter, Jimmy Reed, Howling
Wolf These are the giants who created my music/ And to them, I take
my hat off Like them, I'm going keep wailing/ Wailing til the day I drop
Cause while I'm huffing, there just ainıt nothing/ That can make the music stop.
I was born. I was born. Born to wail!
I was born with a small harpoon / growing between my lips Instead of
crying I took a breath/ And then I played a few riffs The doctor
started dancing / And the nurses did the hootchie koo My mommy looked
at me a wailin' away /She said "Good Lord who are you?" I was born, I
was born, I was born to wail
If Moses had been a harp player./ He would have played like me Cause
the way I wail could break down a jail/ Or part any ocean or sea And
when the music drags and excitement lags,/The band always brings me in
Cause itıs sound on fire, this harp for hire. / Not to play it , is just a
sin.
I was born, I was born, I was born to wail
