Otis Lyrics

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

I need some love from a Georgia man
Bang it out in Dawson
I get him then I lost him
Part time preacher in the traveling band
That sugar on his shoulder

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Sing me up then break my heart
Those cigarettes and coffee
Look at the man he's got me
Big ole' ranch keeps us apart
And that tramp from California...

Oh my Otis won't you come back down
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Sugar in the morning
Ya gotta get on up
Listen to the sound
And ya gotta get on up

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
You shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

I need some love from a Georgia man
Bang it out in Dawson
I get him then I lost him
Part time preacher in the traveling band
That sugar on his shoulder

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Sing me up then break my heart
Those cigarettes and coffee
Look at the man he's got me
Big ole' ranch keeps us apart
And that tramp from California...

Oh my Otis won't you come back down
I'm on my way but I need a little time
Shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Sugar in the morning
Ya gotta get on up
Listen to the sound 
And ya gotta get on up

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?
I'm on my way but I need a little time
You shook my soul and ya saved my life
I'm on my way but I need a little time

Oh my Otis won't you come back down?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
