lirik lagu blind willie mctell – chrissie hynde
[verse 1]
i’ve seen the arrow on the doorpost
saying, “this land is condemned
all the way from new orleans to jerusalem”
i traveled through east texas
where many martyrs fell
and i know no one can sing the blues
like blind willie mctell
[verse 2]
well, i heard that hoot owl singing
as they were taking down the tents
the stars above the barren trees
was his only audience
them charcoal gypsy maidens
can strut their feathers well
but n0body can sing the blues
like blind willie mctell
[verse 3]
see them big plantations burning
hear the cracking of the whips
smell that sweet magnolia blooming
see the ghosts of slavery ships
i can hear them tribes moaning
hear that undertaker’s bell
n0body can sing the blues
like blind willie mctell
[verse 4]
there’s a woman by the river
with some fine young handsome man
he’s dressed up like a squire
bootlegged whiskey in his hand
there’s a chain gang on the highway
i can hear them rebels yell
and i know no one can sing the blues
like blind willie mctell
[verse 5]
god is in his heaven
and we all want what’s his
but power and greed and corruptible seed
seems to be all that there is
i’m gazing out the window
of the st. james hotel
and i know no one can sing the blues
like blind willie mctell
