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

[00:00:00] Written by：Bob Dylan

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

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

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

[00:00:38] To jerusalem

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

[00:00:50] Where many martyrs fell

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

[00:01:01] Like blind willie mctell

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

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

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

[00:01:28] Were his only audience

[00:01:35] Them charcoal gypsy maidens

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

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

[00:01:53] Like blind willie mctell

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:33] Hear the undertakers bell

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

[00:02:44] Like blind willie mctell

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:33] Like blind willie mctell

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:49] Like blind willie mctell
