: : I'm a not a native english speaker but a huge fan of John Mayall and J.B. Lenoir and couldn't imagine a more touching song than "The Death of J.B. Lenoir". After searching the net for hours to find the lyrics I finally decided to figure them out myself. So please forgive me if there are any errors, grammatical or concerning the sense and feel free to correct them.

: : John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - "The Death of J.B. Lenoir"

: : from the "Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: The Soul Of A Man" Soundtrack

: : A caress killed a friend and Chicago's thousand miles away,
: : A caress killed a friend and Chicago's thousand miles away.
: : When I read the news, nod (?)(note) came early in my day.

: : J.B. Lenoir is dead and its (it has ?) hit my like a hammer blow,
: : J.B. Lenoir is dead and its hit my like a hammer blow,
: : I cry inside my heart that the world can't hear my man no more.

: : J.B. had a struggled play (?) and appreciated blues in vain,
: : J.B. had a struggled play and appreciated blues in vain,
: : now the blues has lost a king and I've lost a friend that died in pain.

: : This comment may be too late; but I hope someone is still interested in the lyrics.

: Sorry, here's what it should be
: A CAR HAS killed a man, in chicago a thousand miles away
: Our congress killed our 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 a struggle playing, unappreciated blues in vain
: JB had a struggle playing, unappreciated blues in vain
: now the blues has lost a king and I've lost a friend who died in pain.
