Blind Willie Mctell (Live) - Rick Danko Band[00:00:00]
Seen the arrow on the door post[00:00:15]
Saying this land is condemned[00:00:21]
All the way[00:00:26]
From New Orleans to Jerusalem[00:00:29]
I traveled through East Texas[00:00:38]
Where many martyrs fell[00:00:45]
And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:00:49]
Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:00:54]
Well I heard the hoot-owl singing[00:01:01]
As they were taking down the tents[00:01:08]
All the barren trees the stars above[00:01:13]
Were his only audience[00:01:19]
Yeah them charcoal gypsy maidens[00:01:25]
Can strut their feathers well[00:01:31]
And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:01:36]
Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:01:41]
See them big plantations a-burning[00:02:01]
Can't you hear the cracking of the whips[00:02:07]
Smell that sweet magnolia blossom blooming[00:02:13]
See the ghosts of the slavery ships[00:02:19]
Well I can hear them tribes a-moanin'[00:02:25]
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[00:02:49]
She is with some fine young handsome man[00:02:55]
See he's all dressed just like a squire[00:03:01]
He's got bootleg whiskey in his hand[00:03:06]
Yeah there's a chain-gang out on the highway[00:03:14]
And I can hear them rebels yell[00:03:20]
And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:03:25]
Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:03:30]
God oh God is in Heaven[00:03:51]
And we all want what is His[00:03:56]
But the power and greed the corruptible seed[00:04:02]
Seems to be all that there is[00:04:07]
I'm a-gazing out the window[00:04:14]
Of the St James Hotel[00:04:21]
And I know one thing nobody can sing[00:04:26]
Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:04:31]
I know one thing nobody can sing[00:04:36]
Them blues like blind Willie McTell[00:04:41]
