Tom Russell - Muhammad Ali lyrics

From Louisville Kentucky name of Ca**ius Clay Fought my way out to see another day Seven to one odds against ol' Sonny Liston Took my title from me but I kept on my mission Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee You know you've got me dancing I'm the champion of the ring You know my name Is Muhammad Ali No George Foreman ever called me a quitter No Viet Cong ever called me a n******g Threw my gold medal in the Ohio river I won for the land of the free. Bumaye Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee You know you've got me dancing I'm the champion of the ring You know my name Is Muhammad Ali Yes my mind is free and all your love I'll never forget Yes in time you'll see I am the most beautiful I am the most beautiful fighter yet I know my destination and I know the truth Yes I am the Louisville Lip that you've been talking to All my life I've been dancing, like a rooster I will sing Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee You know you've got me dancing I'm the world champion of the ring You know my name Is Muhammad Ali
