A car has killed a friend down in Chicago 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.

Now the Blues has lost a king and I’ve lost a friend who died in vain
