James Brown is Free.

[robert_johnson]

I saw three ships come sailing in.
It's Christmas day.
And one of those ships took James Brown Away.

I saw three ships come sailing in,
while the world of soul was in mourning.

But I believe and no mistake
the Godfather of soul will get a fair shake
and he won't get thrown in the firey lake
when the world has it's final warning.

I saw three ships come sailing in
It's Christmas day.
And James Brown is out the door
He still had his pompadour...

The world of man is falling away
He can approach his maker and they both  say
Heeey! Hit me! Get on up!
Cause they both like "doin' it, You know" in their own special way,
on Christmas day in the morning.

Merry Christmas.
We used to say "Free James Brown! Let him Go!"
He is free baby. He is.
Fly James!
Fly!
