Blind Willie McTell - The Band[00:00:00]

Seen the arrow on the door post[00:00:11]

Saying this land is condemned[00:00:19]

All the way[00:00:25]

From New Orleans to Jerusalem[00:00:28]

I traveled through East Texas[00:00:39]

Where many martyrs fell[00:00:45]

And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:00:51]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:00:57]

Well I heard the hoot owl singing[00:01:05]

As they were taking down the tents[00:01:12]

The stars above all the barren trees[00:01:18]

Were his only audience[00:01:24]

Yeah them charcoal gypsy maidens[00:01:31]

Can strut their feathers well[00:01:38]

And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:01:44]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:01:49]

See them big plantations a burning[00:01:58]

Can't you hear the cracking of the whips[00:02:04]

Smell that sweet magnolia blossom blooming[00:02:10]

See the ghosts of the slavery ships[00:02:17]

Well I can hear them tribes a moanin'[00:02:24]

I can hear the undertaker's bell[00:02:31]

And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:02:37]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:02:42]

There's a woman she's standing by the river[00:03:03]

She is with some fine young handsome man[00:03:09]

See he's all dressed just like a squire[00:03:15]

He's got bootleg whiskey in his hand[00:03:21]

Yeah there's a chain gang out on the highway[00:03:28]

And I can hear them rebels yell[00:03:36]

And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:03:41]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:03:47]

God oh God is in Heaven[00:03:56]

And we all want what is his[00:04:02]

But the power and greed the corruptible seed[00:04:08]

Seems to be all that there is[00:04:13]

Hey hey I'm a gazing out the window[00:04:21]

Of the St James hotel[00:04:28]

And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:04:34]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:04:40]

Hey hey I know one thing nobody can sing[00:04:45]

Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:04:51]
