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 »

Now hear me singing
Hear the words that I'm saying
Wash my soul with water from on high
In a world of sin around me
No evil thoughts can bound me
Lord, if you leave me I will die

You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above

You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above

Make my journey brighter

Make my burden lighter
Help me to do good wherever I can
Let thy presence thrill me
Let the holy spirit fill me
And just hold me in the hollow of your hand

Well you just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
You just rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above
You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above
