《Blind Willie McTell》歌词

[00:00:00] Blind Willie McTell - The Band

[00:00:11] Seen the arrow on the door post

[00:00:19] Saying this land is condemned

[00:00:25] All the way

[00:00:28] From New Orleans to Jerusalem

[00:00:39] I traveled through East Texas

[00:00:45] Where many martyrs fell

[00:00:51] And I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:00:57] Them blues like blind Willie McTell

[00:01:05] Well I heard the hoot owl singing

[00:01:12] As they were taking down the tents

[00:01:18] The stars above all the barren trees

[00:01:24] Were his only audience

[00:01:31] Yeah them charcoal gypsy maidens

[00:01:38] Can strut their feathers well

[00:01:44] And I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:01:49] Them blues like blind Willie McTell

[00:01:58] See them big plantations a burning

[00:02:04] Can't you hear the cracking of the whips

[00:02:10] Smell that sweet magnolia blossom blooming

[00:02:17] See the ghosts of the slavery ships

[00:02:24] Well I can hear them tribes a moanin'

[00:02:31] I can hear the undertaker's bell

[00:02:37] And I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:02:42] Them blues like blind Willie McTell

[00:03:03] There's a woman she's standing by the river

[00:03:09] She is with some fine young handsome man

[00:03:15] See he's all dressed just like a squire

[00:03:21] He's got bootleg whiskey in his hand

[00:03:28] Yeah there's a chain gang out on the highway

[00:03:36] And I can hear them rebels yell

[00:03:41] And I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:03:47] Them blues like blind Willie McTell

[00:03:56] God oh God is in Heaven

[00:04:02] And we all want what is his

[00:04:08] But the power and greed the corruptible seed

[00:04:13] Seems to be all that there is

[00:04:21] Hey hey I'm a gazing out the window

[00:04:28] Of the St James hotel

[00:04:34] And I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:04:40] Them blues like blind Willie McTell

[00:04:45] Hey hey I know one thing nobody can sing

[00:04:51] Them blues like blind Willie McTell
