No More Elmore by Eric Burdon
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
