Lyrics »

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 it’s hit me like a hammer blow. J.B Lenoir is dead and it’s 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 playin’ unappreciated blues in vain J.B had a struggle playin’ unappreciated blues in vain Now the Blues has lost a king and I’ve lost a friend who died in vain
