Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Albert Lee, Keb’ Mo’, Earl Klugh and James Burton – Lay Down Sally
Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Albert Lee, Keb’ Mo’, Earl Klugh and James Burton perform one of Eric Clapton’s most iconic hits ‘Lay Down Sally’ at Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010.
Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2019 collection captures nearly four hours of highlights recorded live last year at the acclaimed charity music festival founded by the legendary guitarist.
Eric Clapton, one of the world’s pre-eminent blues/rock guitarists, once again summoned an all-star team of six-string heroes for his fifth Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2019. Held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, the two-day concert event raised funds for the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, the chemical dependency treatment and education facility that Clapton founded in 1998.
Lyrics:
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you’ve got somewhere to go
But won’t you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don’t you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
Sun ain’t nearly on the rise
We still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies, love is all that matters
Won’t you stay with me? Don’t you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, and no need to leave so soon
I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
I long to see the morning light
Color in your face so dreamily
So don’t you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don’t you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, there’s no need to leave so soon
I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, there’s no need to leave so soon
I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
