Mr. Pitiful [Set 1 / Saturday, 4/9/66] Songtext
von Otis Redding

They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby thats my name now, oh
They call me Mr. Pitiful
And that′s how I got my fame

But nobody seems to understand now
What make a man feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
I've lost someone just like you, yeah

They call me Mr. Pitiful
This everybody know now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
′Most everyplace I go

But nobody seems to understand now
What make a man sing such a sad song
Ooh, when he lost everything
When he lost everything that he had


How can I explain to you?
How somebody had been so very blue
I cannot tell you 'bout my past
Long thing won't end

Mr. Pitiful
That′s my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
And that′s how I got my fame

But nobody seems to understand
Ooh, what make a man can feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I′m in love with you, yeah


Can I explain to you?
Everything is going wrong
I've lost everything I had
I′ve got to sing this sad song
To get back to her
And I want you and I want you and I want you
And I'm gonna tell you right now
Everything is going through my mind
Oh, ain′t that I can sing?
And I'm gonna sing this song
And I'm gonna sing this song for everybody
′Cause I want them to understand what I talkin′ about
Too much of grow man, baby man

They call me Mr. Pitiful all over this land
Mr. Pitiful and that's my name
Mr. Pitiful, I got my fame...
