Born in Augusta, Georgia, James Brown

Born in Augusta, Georgia, he was a poor little shoe shine boy
Now he's the king, the king of soul, hey, hey, hey

His hair was slick and shiny, James Brown

Now his forces have grown
He's taken Blackheart, Lord, I'm proud

The king of soul, hey, hey, hey, uh
With your bad self
Uh, it's funky, uh
Can't stand it, uh
A good God
