Otis Redding (9 de setembro de 1941 - 10 de dezembro de 1967) foi um influente cantor estadunidense de soul, conhecido por seu estilo passional e pelo sucesso póstumo "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay". Nascido em Macon, Geórgia, ele começou a trabalhar na indústria musical no começo dos anos 60, gravando "These Arms of Mine", que se tornou um hit. Em seguida vieram "Mr. Pitiful", "I Can't Turn You Loose", "(I Can Get No) Satisfaction" e "Respect".

...TRAMP... by Otis Redding (with Carla Thomas) -----------................
*from 'King & Queen' (1967)*
Verse 1:
C7 (n.C) Tramp! What you call me? Tramp. You didn't! You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats. Well, I tell you one dog-gone thing; It makes me feel good to know one thing; I know I'm a...
F7C7 Lover. Matter of opinion; that's all right Mama was, Papa too, G7F7C7 And I'm the only child; lovin' is all I know to do.
Verse 2:
C7 (n.C) You know what, Otis? What? You're country, that's all right! You straight from the Georgia woods, that's good! You know what? You wear overalls and big old Brogan shoes, And you need a haircut, tramp. Haircut? Woman, you foolin', ooh, I'm a...
F7C7 Lover, Mama was, Grandmama, Papa too; Boogaloo, all that stuff. G7F7C7 And I'm the only Son-of-a-gun, this side of the sun.
Verse 3:
C7 (n.C) Tramp! You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say; you're still a tramp. What? That's right; you haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket, You probably haven't even got Twenty-five cents. I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, Three T-Birds... Mustang, ooh, I'm a...
F7C7 Lover, Mama was, Papa too. I tell you one thing; well, tell me, G7F7C7 I'm the only, Son-of-a-gun, this side of the sun.
Coda:
C7 You're a tramp, Otis. No I'm not. I don't care what you say; you're still a tramp. What's wrong with that? Look here; You ain't got no money, I got everything, You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want. I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits; Anything you want, woman. Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, baby, Oh, you foolin', you're still a tramp, that's all right, You a tramp, Otis, you just a tramp. That's all right, You wear overalls, you need a haircut, baby, Cut off some of that hair off your head, you think you a lover, huh?
