[00:02.43] Songs Title:blind willie mctell
[00:05.24]
[00:19.03] Seen the arrow on the doorpost
[00:24.40]
[00:25.40] Saying, this land is condemned
[00:29.27]
[00:32.57] All the way from new orleans
[00:38.75] To jerusalem.
[00:42.06]
[00:43.87] I traveled through east texas
[00:47.84]
[00:50.71] Where many martyrs fell
[00:55.08]
[00:56.21] And I know no one can sing the blues
[01:01.82] Like blind willie mctell
[01:06.00]
[01:10.87] Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
[01:15.92]
[01:18.11] As they were taking down the tents
[01:21.85]
[01:24.16] The stars above the barren trees
[01:28.90] Were his only audience
[01:32.64]
[01:35.44] Them charcoal gypsy maidens
[01:42.18] Can strut their feathers well
[01:46.18]
[01:48.36] But nobody can sing the blues
[01:53.54] Like blind willie mctell
[01:57.70]
[02:03.57] See them big plantations burning
[02:09.75] Hear the cracking of the whips
[02:12.91]
[02:15.28] Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
[02:18.85]
[02:20.22] see the ghosts of slavery ships
[02:24.72]
[02:26.65] I can hear them tribes a-moaning
[02:30.41]
[02:33.72] hear the undertakers bell
[02:37.21]
[02:39.86] nobody can sing the blues
[02:44.05]
[02:45.23] Like blind willie mctell
[02:48.79]
[02:50.72] Theres a woman by the river
[02:54.95]
[02:57.57] With some fine young handsome man
[03:03.75] Hes dressed up like a squire
[03:06.43]
[03:09.93] Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
[03:13.73]
[03:14.92] Theres a chain gang on the highway
[03:18.97]
[03:21.66] I can hear them rebels yell
[03:25.15]
[03:27.65] And I know no one can sing the blues
[03:33.45] Like blind willie mctell
[03:37.63]
[04:06.52] Well, God is in heaven
[04:10.27]
[04:13.82] And we all want whats his
[04:19.69] But power and greed and corruptible seed
[04:25.30] Seem to be all that there is
[04:29.55]
[04:31.86] Im gazing out the window
[04:35.79]
[04:37.97] Of the st. james hotel
[04:41.90]
[04:43.96] And I know no one can sing the blues
