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. McTell embodied a variety of musical styles, including blues, ragtime, religious music, and hokum. more »

Chainey, Chainey, she's dead and gone
Left me here to carry this good time on
Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody rock me like-a Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, she's an angel above
Nobody like her like the girl I love
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like-a Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, poor girl's dead
Go look on the pillow where she laid her head
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like-a Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, she left me here
Nothin' more that I'll have to fear
But a Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like Chainey do

Poor girl's dead, ain't it sad
She left me here now ain't it bad
Good Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, poor girl be gone
Left me here now to weep and moan
Oh, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, she's gone down
Nobody here now to take me around
Oh, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like-a Chainey do

I even loved her in the summer also in the fall
Now all year she's my all in all
Oh, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like Chainey do

Chainey, Chainey, poor girl's dead
Go look on the pillow where she laid her head
Oh, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like Chainey do

She just left me this afternoon
Let's go look in, poor girl's room
Oh, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like-a Chainey do

Lord, Lordy, Lord
Nobody love me like old Chainey do
