Blind Willie McTell

Blind Willie McTell (born William Samuel McTier May 5, 1898 – August 19, 1959), was a Piedmont and ragtime blues singer and guitarist. He played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, common among many exponents of Piedmont blues, although, unlike his contemporaries, he came to exclusively use twelve-string guitars. McTell was also an adept slide guitarist, unusual among ragtime bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from many of the harsher voice types employed by Delta bluesmen, such as Charlie Patton.

I wants to wait around here, baby, until your fried pie'll get done
I wants to wait around here, baby, until your fried pie'll get done
Because I think I got a nickel, I wants to buy me one

I wonder, could I find a woman, to do like my last rider done
Wonder, could I find a woman, to do just like my last rider done
She keep it all for her daddy, she didn't give nobody none

Said, my baby got a bed, it shines like a morning star
My good mama got a bed, it shines like a morning star
And when I crawls in the middle, it rides me like a Cadillac car

My good gal got a mojo, she tryin' to keep it hid
My good woman got a mojo, she tryin' to keep it hid
But Georgia Bill got somethin', to find that mojo with

I says, she got that mojo and she won't let me see
I says, she got that mojo and she won't let me see
And every time I start to lovin', she try to put them jinx on me

Play it a little bit for me Mr. So 'n' So for I know you like it

Well, she shakes it like the Central, she wobble like the L&N
I say she shake it like the Central, she wobble like the L&N
Well, she's a hot shot mama, and I'm scared to tell her where I've been

Said, my baby got somethin', she won't tell her daddy what it is
My good mama got somethin', she won't tell her papa what it is
And when I crawls in my bed, I just can't keep my black self still

Well, I done got reckless and I broke my mama's rule
Lord, Lord
Well, I done got reckless and I broke my baby's rule
I been wanderin' 'round in Georgia with these doggone scary day blues
