Indeed, incredible song! This is my take on the lyrics, the last verse is very different. Maybe I just like to picture JB as an unappreciated blues genious :)
A car har killed a friend in Chicago a thousand miles away
A car har killed a friend in Chicago a thousand miles away
When I read the news, night came early in my day
JB Lenoir is dead and it's hit me like a hammer blow
JB Lenoir is dead and it's hit me like a hammer blow
I cry inside my heart that the world can't hear my man no more
JB had to struggle playing unappreciated blues in vain
JB had to struggle playing unappreciated blues in vain
Now the blues has lost a king and I've lost a friend who died in pain
