No More Elmore |
| Just after I left school |
| I begin working for living |
| Came home one day |
| From a hard day’s digging |
| Went down to my blues collection |
| Just for some peace of mind |
| And I got the word Elmore James is gone |
| Seems like I lost a friend of mine |
| No more Elmore, no more Elmore James |
| No more Elmore, no more Elmore James |
| It’s a shame, crying shame |
| No more Elmore James |
| When I was mannish boy |
| When I was in high school |
| My biggest influence was a 45 record |
| Made me wanted to dance |
| The music freaks would gather |
| From all over town |
| 'Til early in the morning |
| We laid the beat on down |
| No more Elmore, no more Elmore James |
| No more Elmore, no more Elmore James |
| It’s a shame, crying shame |
| No more Elmore James |
| As I grew older |
| The music grow within me I knew that soon one of these days |
| I’d be out on the road |
| Fronting my own rock’n’roll show |
| We made the people sing |
| We made the people dance |
| True blue music |
| Puts everybody in a trance |
| We kicked in the guitar |
| No more Elmore James |
| When I’m feeling down |
| And all messed up inside |
| Put an Elmore on the box |
| And groovin’n’slip’n’slidin' |
| Elmore, I take him everywhere |
| As I travel down the long road |
| Lord, I hop he’s down there |
| I sang at the crossroads |
| At the full of the moon |
| And I know for sure |
| It’s true true love that counts |
| And I’m in love, yes |
| Couldn’t believe my ears |
| Couldn’t believe my eyes |
| Have to go through life |
| Without hearing that slide |
| Take him everywhere |
| I got it on my back |
| As I walk down this long road |
| No more Elmore James |
| No more Elmore James |
