The Death Of J.B. Lenoir

A car has killed a friend down in Chicago
Thousand miles away
A car has killed a friend down in Chicago
Thousand miles away
When I read the news
Night came early in my day
J.B Lenoir is dead
And its hit me like a hammer blow
J.B Lenoir is dead
And its hit me like a hammer blow
I cry inside my heart
That the world can hear my man no more

J.B had a struggle playing unappreciated blues in vain
J.B had a struggle playing unappreciated blues in vain
Now the blues has lost a King
And I've lost a friend who died in vain
