"From Four Until Late" (or "From Four Till Late") is a blues song written by Delta blues musician Robert Johnson. He recorded it in Dallas, Texas, during his second to last session for producer Don Law on June 19, 1937.[1] The lyrics contained his philosophical lines of "a man is like a prisoner, and he's never satisfied".[2]
British rock group Cream recorded the song for their debut album Fresh Cream in 1966.[3] Guitarist Eric Clapton provided the lead vocal. Clapton also recorded another version of the song on his Sessions for Robert J album in 2004.[4]
