2. Like Blind Willie McTell There’s a woman by the river With some fine young handsome man He’s dressed up like a squire Bootlegged whiskey in his hand Some of them died in the battle Some of them survived as well And I can tell you one thing Nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, God is in His heaven And we all want what’s His.
