The Lyrics to this song, clearly a heartfelt tribute to one of John Mayall's influences, goes like this:
A car just killed a friend in Chicago a thousand miles away
A car just killed a friend in Chicago a 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
