"Just Like Ali" lyrics - TOM COCHRANE

What I can taste and
What I can see and I
Battlin' blues
Say it will love me
I been licked

They love me so
Guess when people lie they so
They love me so
Battlin' blues
Say it will love me

Guess when people lie
They so get on me
Just like Ali

Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Just like Ali

Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Delivered some blows like sweet Santa Claus
Didn't hurt no one, but some they mighta hated me
Indeed I did it my way indeed that's the truth
Stood by the valley stepped down on my roots
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Just like Ali

Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Just like Ali

Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Just like Ali

Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi
Just like Ali

Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Just like Ali

Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi

Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Just like Ali

Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi
Just like Ali
