Blind Willie McTell - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Seen the arrow on the doorpost[00:00:18]

Saying this land is condemned[00:00:24]

All the way from new orleans[00:00:32]

To jerusalem[00:00:38]

I traveled through east texas[00:00:43]

Where many martyrs fell[00:00:50]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:00:55]

Like blind willie mctell[00:01:01]

Well I heard the hoot owl singing[00:01:10]

As they were taking down the tents[00:01:17]

The stars above the barren trees[00:01:23]

Were his only audience[00:01:28]

Them charcoal gypsy maidens[00:01:35]

Can strut their feathers well[00:01:41]

But nobody can sing the blues[00:01:47]

Like blind willie mctell[00:01:53]

See them big plantations burning[00:02:03]

Hear the cracking of the whips[00:02:09]

Smell that sweet magnolia blooming[00:02:14]

See the ghosts of slavery ships[00:02:19]

I can hear them tribes a-moaning[00:02:26]

Hear the undertakers bell[00:02:33]

Nobody can sing the blues[00:02:39]

Like blind willie mctell[00:02:44]

Theres a woman by the river[00:02:50]

With some fine young handsome man[00:02:57]

He's dressed up like a squire[00:03:03]

Bootlegged whiskey in his hand[00:03:09]

Theres a chain gang on the highway[00:03:14]

I can hear them rebels yell[00:03:21]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:03:27]

Like blind willie mctell[00:03:33]

Well God is in heaven[00:04:06]

And we all want whats his[00:04:13]

But power and greed and corruptible seed[00:04:19]

Seem to be all that there is[00:04:24]

I'm gazing out the window[00:04:31]

Of the st james hotel[00:04:37]

And I know no one can sing the blues[00:04:43]

Like blind willie mctell[00:04:49]
