Amen Lyrics by Otis Redding

The Immortal Otis Redding

1968

[Verse 1]
Amen, uh, A-Amen, uh
A-Amen, Amen, Amen

With the horns, now
Amen
With the rhythm, now
A-Amen, A-Amen
A-Amen, Amen, Amen

Everybody, now
A-Amen, A-Amen
A-Amen, Amen, Amen
Huh, let me tell you

[Verse 2]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah yeah

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
To show my love
One thing my pappy used to say, he said that

"Even in my home, son," I said, "What, dad?"
I'm gonna let it shine, let me tell you
Said, "Even in your home, son
You got to let your little light shine, yeah huh
Even in your home son, ha
You've got to let it shine
Just let it shine, just let it shine
To show your love"
And then I said, "Daddy, help me sing this line one time"

[Outro]
A-Amen, will you help me
A-Amen, huh, with a feeling
A-Amen, Amen, Amen, everybody together now
A-Amen, little louder now
A-A-Amen, everybody say
A-Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen
