Take you back to a cotton field In the heart of Lousiana Little boy about
nine years old Sings a song in the heat of the day Mama cried when her
little boy sang She knew he could be someone special Mama cried 'cause
the way that it was He would only be wasted away
Then his mama would
pray And every night she would say Help my boy began Take the lord by
the hand
Let the little boy sing Got a feeling that takes you
home Got a melody of his own Let the little boy sing
Let the
little boy try Let the little boy buy He can take you along On the
wings of his song Let the little boy fly
Take you back to New
Orleans Where the music wakes up with the city To the bars by the
railroad cars On the neon side of town Sang a song on the city
streets And people began to listen Southern boy, sing your southern
song Take it like no one aound
Nobody walked by Without feelin'
high Never heard it before They'd be calling for more
Let the
little boy sing Got a melody of his own Got a feeling that takes you
home Let the little boy sing And let the little boy fly Let the little
boy try He can take you along On the wings of his song Let the little
boy fly
Let him take you away
(Ladies and gentlemen Super??
are proud to introduce The little boy with a soul of a star)
Let the
little boy sing Got a melody of his own Got a feeling that takes you
home Let the little boy sing Let the little boy try Let the little boy
buy He can take you along On the wings of his song Let the little boy
fly
