There goes my hero (my hero)

Walkin’ down the line (walking’ down the line)

She’s slinging’ guitar playin like a man

Way before her time (ooh)

How she punches through the clouds

She’s breaking all new ground

How I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta

Up above my head (up above my head)

She sang there is music everywhere

She had a big fur coat and a Gibson (ooh)

She had quite the flair (quite the flair)

But some people don’t seem to know (people don’t know)

The godmother of Rock & Roll

How I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta

I’d like to follow in her footsteps

And redefine a sound

I’d follow in her footsteps

And do somethin’ profound

She’s carried the torch so I can see a little bit better

How I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta

I’d like to follow in her footsteps

And redefine a sound

I’d follow in her footsteps

And do somethin’ profound

She’s carried the torch so I can see a little bit better

How I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta

History should not forget her (don’t forget her)

She’s inspired the rest (she inspired the rest)

There’d be no Elvis or Chuck Berry

Sometimes the women do it best

She tackled all the inequities

And fought with strength and audacity

I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta

How I love (love love love)

Yes I love Sister Rosetta
