Miss James Lyrics

John Mayall Miss James

I read about her in a magazine
The writer painted her in colors of a queen
Other people said bad things instead
So I was curious to check out what I read

But asking around she couldn't be found
Strange, elusive Miss James!

Two weeks later I was down the Shrine
Saw a pretty girl who would suit me fine
Rushing around we forgot to trade names
I didn't connect her with the one I called Miss James

I was surprised when I realized
The two were one and the same
I had the phone company give her number to me
I called her at home, she said she was alone

Would she see me tonight?
Yeah, that was alright...
