Blind Willie McTell - Tom Morello The Nightwatchman[00:00:00]

Seen the arrow on the doorpost[00:00:11]

Saying This land is condemned[00:00:17]

All the way from New Orleans[00:00:24]

To Jerusalem[00:00:30]

I traveled through East Texas[00:00:35]

Where many martyrs fell[00:00:42]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:00:48]

Like Blind Willie McTell[00:00:53]

Well I heard the hoot owl singing[00:00:59]

As they were taking down the tents[00:01:06]

The stars above the barren trees[00:01:12]

Were his only audience[00:01:17]

Them charcoal gypsy maidens[00:01:23]

Can strut their feathers well[00:01:30]

But nobody can sing the blues[00:01:36]

Like Blind Willie McTell[00:01:41]

See them big plantations burning[00:01:47]

Hear the cracking of the whips[00:01:55]

Smell that sweet magnolia blooming[00:01:59]

And see the ghosts of slavery ships[00:02:05]

I can hear them tribes a moaning[00:02:11]

I can hear the undertaker's bell[00:02:19]

Nobody can sing the blues[00:02:24]

Like Blind Willie McTell[00:02:29]

There's a woman by the river[00:02:35]

With some fine young handsome man[00:02:42]

He's dressed up like a squire[00:02:47]

Bootlegged whiskey in his hand[00:02:54]

There's a chain gang on the highway[00:02:59]

I can hear them rebels yell[00:03:06]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:03:12]

Like Blind Willie McTell[00:03:17]

Well God is in heaven[00:03:39]

And we all want what's his[00:03:45]

But power and greed and corruptible seed[00:03:51]

Seem to be all that there is[00:03:56]

I'm gazing out the window[00:04:03]

Of the St James Hotel[00:04:09]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:04:14]

Like Blind Willie McTell[00:04:20]
