no more elmore

Lyrics

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
