I remeber you back in ninteen-fifty-six   You had all the moves and you knew all the tricks:   You left all the ladies in a hell of a fix,   When your voice took wings      Then you'd shake around and oh, how'd you sing:   Just an old boy from Memphis with a big diamond ring:   A country girl's prayer and a city girls dream;   Hail the king      Chorus   But its all right now   Keep on singin' loud;   Its all right now:   Heaven should be proud.      The fifties left town on a crowded dance floor:   The sixties came in with a bang and a roar.   The world heard a knock it was Janis at the door:   They let her in.   And when it seemed this whole world was falling apart   The houselights would fall and the music would start;   She'd be givin us all a piece of her heart,   Once again.      repeat chorus      It was October in St. Louis town,   When we heard that the Free Bird had fell to the ground;   And we all said a prayer before we went down,   To play   And Ronnie, my buddy, above all the rest,   I miss you the most and I loved you the best,   And now that your gone I thank God I was blessed   Just to know you      repeat Chorus
