Seen the arrow on the door post
Saying, "This land is condemned"
All the way
From New Orleans to JerusalemI traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTellWell, I heard the hoot-owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above all the barren trees
Were his only audienceYeah, them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
And I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTellSee them big plantations a-burning
Can't you hear the cracking of the whips?
Smell that sweet magnolia blossom blooming
See the ghosts of the slavery shipsWell, I can hear them tribes a-moanin'
I can hear the undertaker's bell
And I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTellThere's a woman, she's standing by the river
She is with some fine young handsome man
See he's all dressed just like a squire
He's got bootleg whiskey in his handYeah, there's a chain-gang out on the highway
And I can hear them rebels yell
And I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTellGod, oh God is in Heaven
And we all want what is His
But the power and greed, the corruptible seed
Seems to be all that there isHey, hey, I'm a-gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTell
Hey, hey, I know one thing, nobody can sing
Them blues like blind Willie McTell

Это интересно:The Band на протяжении шести лет (с 1968 по 1975) были одной из наиболее популярных и влиятельных рок-групп, чья музыка рассматривалась столь же серьезно, как творения "Rolling stones" и "Beatles". А началось все в 1958-м, когда рок-н-ролльщик из Арканзаса Ронни Хокинс стал набирать себе сопровождающий состав. Одним из первых его соратников стал барабанщик Левон Хелм (р. 26 мая 1942). "Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks"... продолжение
