Blind Willie McTell - Bob Dylan

Blind Willie McTell LRC歌词

[00:17.400]Seen the arrow on the doorpost

[00:23.580]Saying, "This land is condemned“

[00:31.400]All the way from New Orleans

[00:37.400]To Jerusalem"

[00:42.580]I traveled through East Texas

[00:49.580]Where many martyrs fell

[00:55.400]And I know no one can sing the blues

[01:00.580]Like Blind Willie McTell

[01:10.400]Well, I heard that hoot owl singing

[01:17.580]As they were taking down the tents

[01:24.400]The stars above the barren trees

[01:29.400]Were his only audience

[01:35.400]Them charcoal gypsy maidens

[01:42.400]Can strut their feathers well

[01:48.400]But nobody can sing the blues

[01:53.400]Like Blind Willie McTell

[02:03.400]See them big plantations burning

[02:09.400]Hear the cracking of the whips

[02:15.400]Smell that sweet magnolia blooming

[02:20.400]See the ghosts of slavery ships

[02:26.400]I can hear them tribes a-moaning

[02:34.400]Hear that undertaker's bell

[02:40.400]Nobody can sing the blues

[02:45.400]Like Blind Willie McTell

[02:51.400]There's a woman by the river

[02:57.400]With some fine young handsome man

[03:03.400]He's dressed up like a squire

[03:10.400]Bootlegged whiskey in his hand

[03:15.400]There's a chain gang on the highway

[03:22.400]I can hear them rebels yell

[03:27.580]And I know no one can sing the blues

[03:33.500]Like Blind Willie McTell

[04:06.400]Well, God is in His heaven

[04:14.400]And we all want what's his

[04:20.400]But power and greed and corruptible seed

[04:25.400]Seem to be all that there is

[04:31.400]I'm gazing out the window

[04:38.400]Of the St.james Hotel

[04:44.400]And I know no one can sing the blues

[04:50.400]Like Blind Willie McTell
