about

A beautiful blues by the great Blind Willie McTell. It took me 40 years to learn how to sing this without being artificial.

lyrics

wake up mama
don’t you sleep so hard
don’t you hear these blues
walkin’ all over your yard

I got these blues
I’m not satisfied
that’s the reason why
I stole away and I cried

blues grabbed me at midnight
wouldn’t turn me loose till day
I didn’t have nobody
to drive these blues away

big star fallin’
mama, ain’t long ‘fore day
maybe the sunshine this time
will drive these blues away
