Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Eric Clapton performing "Layla" unplugged on "MTV Unplugged."
"The title of the song comes from a poem "Layla and Majnun" by the Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, and Eric Clapton wrote it about Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's wife at the time."

Eric Clapton - Derek & The Dominos and the making of "Layla" with Duane Allman.

"Layla" written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordan
Lyrics
"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."
