Paying homage to Elmore James “King Of The Slide Guitar“ with this cover of the 1960 original (have a listen). I’m a huge fan of 461 Ocean Boulevard, so this is perfection to me 🙂Enjoy the full album on my channel here: I am not monetized at all on YT. Likes & subscribers are a huge plus. Thank you & enjoy. (Lyrics & trivia below in description).
I just talked to my baby on the telephone
She said, “Stop what you’re doing, baby, come on home“
I can’t hold out, I can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
You said, “Baby, don’t you worry, you’re my heart’s desire“
“You know that I love you, I can’t stand to see you cry“
I can’t hold out, can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
She said, “Baby, you can run, you can walk or fly“
“You know that I love you, you’re my hearts desire“
I can’t hold out, I can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh
Songwriters: Elmore James
