I’m so glad I finally figured out the name of the song, my dad would play this on the radio when I was a kid and the riff is legendary. Finally, I know it

[cheerjim]

I coached a college cheerleading team in 1992-93, and we used this instrumental version when stretching, tumbling and warming up.

[Schizandra]

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say I'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

SO GOOD, GOLDEN, HEART-RENDING, HARD-DRIVING AND HAUNTING!

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride


[Chorus]
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind


[Verse 2]
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down


[Chorus]
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind


[Verse 3]
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain


[Chorus 2X]
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

[NVUSAttitude]

with the instrumental i can tell the guitar almost sounds as if its crying with heavy emotion- same way "while my guitar gently weeps" does it

[phantm]

Dude how did you do this so well? It sounds phenomenal!

[richardgadberry]

"When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them two days to thaw him out for the autopsy."

[Marty]

The nostalgia really hits hard on this 😢

[ziondawson]

I know it's terrible I know this song from Vauxhall's "Once Driven, Forever Smitten" adverts, but damn it is a good song!

[flcl]

Perfect music for thawing out Italians for an autopsy ...

[rolloff]

I was humming this to myself and wondering who made this for a while now. I just found out five minutes ago! 🙂

"Layla"
("Crossroads" Version)

What'll you do when you get lonely?
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you.
You've turned my whole world upside down.

Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say, we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.

[Guitar solo]

Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.

If this song was the only proof humans existed, it would be a weird experience for the newer aliens. Bc this song gives a godly vibe.

[defaultusername]

I can’t stand the repetition of the intro and chorus but the guitar on the verses is some of Allman’s best work overall IMO
1:33 is masterful

[lupegarcia]

I never really liked the singing but I enjoyed the instrumentals

[Alysa-Aiday]

Uncanny X brought me here. And now I can't hear this without imagining an epic fan-fiction crossover climax scene.

[nilsebeling]

is there a way to get that instrumental without the layla in the background ?

[Nicholas]

i only like the guitar riff part of this song 0:11

[meganm]

That instrumentttt.i.. it gives me chills and lights the fire within, wakes me up again. What is it?? Sounds like a violin?
