There once was a king
who showed us the way
To free ourselves
from anger and hate
He was so kind to everyone
His beautful smile gave us hope
So much love he could make us feel
playing his guitar named Lucille


Born in place where you could get killed
because of the color of your skin sang like an angel and never gave in
He never let hatred make a home within
A poor country boy he had nothing to lose
Three o’ clock in the morning he was singing the blues


Many years later he is a millionaire
Famous in his country and everywhere
The Beale Street Boy is now B.B. King
Millions of fans come to hear him sing
They treat `im like royalty like he deserves
But he’s still humble and he wants to serve


Now Mr. king has shown us the way
Let’s free ourselves from anger and hate
Let’s Try to be kind to everyone Let the good times roll and have some fun
The thrill is not gone we can all still feel
So much love from our dear Lucille
