He's a King without a castle or a crown
And every night he lays his body down
In a different town but one thing stays the same
Everybody knows his name
People may laugh or cry as his stories are told
To tell the truth like this a man must be bold
And the people are glad for the things he shares
Everybody knows he cares

By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he's the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King

Out of the darkness and into the light
To fight the peaceful warrior's fight
Such a beautiful sight and the way you feel
Watching him with Lucille
And the heart of the man is open wide
And he closes his eyes and looks inside
To a love of the world to the song he sings
Giving it everything

By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he's the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he's the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King

By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he's the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King

By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he's the king of the ocean
He's royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King
