《Blind Willie McTell》歌词

[00:00:00] Blind Willie McTell - Tom Morello The Nightwatchman

[00:00:11] Seen the arrow on the doorpost

[00:00:17] Saying This land is condemned

[00:00:24] All the way from New Orleans

[00:00:30] To Jerusalem

[00:00:35] I traveled through East Texas

[00:00:42] Where many martyrs fell

[00:00:48] And I know no one can sing the blues

[00:00:53] Like Blind Willie McTell

[00:00:59] Well I heard the hoot owl singing

[00:01:06] As they were taking down the tents

[00:01:12] The stars above the barren trees

[00:01:17] Were his only audience

[00:01:23] Them charcoal gypsy maidens

[00:01:30] Can strut their feathers well

[00:01:36] But nobody can sing the blues

[00:01:41] Like Blind Willie McTell

[00:01:47] See them big plantations burning

[00:01:55] Hear the cracking of the whips

[00:01:59] Smell that sweet magnolia blooming

[00:02:05] And see the ghosts of slavery ships

[00:02:11] I can hear them tribes a moaning

[00:02:19] I can hear the undertaker's bell

[00:02:24] Nobody can sing the blues

[00:02:29] Like Blind Willie McTell

[00:02:35] There's a woman by the river

[00:02:42] With some fine young handsome man

[00:02:47] He's dressed up like a squire

[00:02:54] Bootlegged whiskey in his hand

[00:02:59] There's a chain gang on the highway

[00:03:06] I can hear them rebels yell

[00:03:12] And I know no one can sing the blues

[00:03:17] Like Blind Willie McTell

[00:03:39] Well God is in heaven

[00:03:45] And we all want what's his

[00:03:51] But power and greed and corruptible seed

[00:03:56] Seem to be all that there is

[00:04:03] I'm gazing out the window

[00:04:09] Of the St James Hotel

[00:04:14] And I know no one can sing the blues

[00:04:20] Like Blind Willie McTell
