Poor Elijah, living on the bayou way.

When his daddy got caught stealing chickens from a neighbor one day.

Poor Elijah, he was damn near blind when he died last week
From working in the sun for the man like a dog all day.
A
Work on Elijah, work on.

I'm going to sing you a song, a song about a man
Nobody hardly knows him.
Nobody hardly knows him.
Nobody hardly knows him.
G#-A (slide up from G# to A) G#-A
Good morning Robert Johnson son.
G#-A G#-A
You built your life before your song was sung.
G#-A G#-A
People agree and now you're number one.
G#-A
So sad to think we had to wait so long.
D
It keeps on getting better every day,
E
And maybe someday soon, people will say,
A
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.

Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
A E A
Just drinking my wine and then loving in slow motion time
