Figplucker's 21st Century Blues: One Way Out (Elmore James)

A classic from the legendary Elmore James, also done back in the day by the great Sonny Boy Williamson before becoming a staple in the Allman Brothers Band's live set...  Here's my fairly short version, with a nod to the Allmans but more of an allegiance to the earlier versions. And more bass!

Give it a listen + let me know what you think.

    Ain't but one way out baby
    Lord I just can't go out the door
    Ain't but one way out baby
    and Lord I just can't go out the door
    'Cause there's a man down there
    might be your man I don't know

    Lord you got me trapped woman
    up on the second floor
    If I get by this time
    I won't be trapped no more
    So raise your window baby
    I can ease out soft and slow
    And Lord your neighbors no they won't be
    talking that stuff that they don't know

    Lord I'm foolish to be here in the first place
    I know some man gonna walk in and take my place
    Ain't no way in the world
    I'm going out that front door
    'Cause there's a man down there
    might be your man I don't know

    Ain't but one way out baby
    Lord I just can't go out the door
    Ain't but one way out baby
    and Lord I just can't go out the door
    'Cause there's a man down there
    might be your man I don't know

    Excellent! That's probably my fave Allman Bros song (although I know it's not really an Allman Bros song) and you've done it proud! Always happy to hear yer bass playin'... :)

    Thanks... maybe my slide playin' will eventually progress to 'decent' from the current 'WTF?'...
