Seemed Like the Whole World Was Crying

I'll never forget this sad phone call
When my friend called and said Muddy Waters had died
I'll never forget this sad phone call
When Sam Lay called to tell me Muddy Waters had died
You know it hurt me to my heart
Like the whole world was crying

Women were screamin' and howlin'
Grown men were heartbroken, I ain't lyin'
The women were screamin' and cryin'
Grown men were heartbroken, I ain't lyin'
I'll never forget when my friend called to tell me Muddy died
Seemed like the whole world was crying

I'm gonna sing this last verse, mama
You know I met him, well years on back down the line
Well I'm gonna sing this last verse, mama
He bein' out I think I move all back down the line
He tell me Muddy Waters has died
And my heart, the whole world was crying

Good-bye Muddy
