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 »

I don't need nothing but my overalls
I done trimmed these women and they bound to fall
Your time to worry, my time to live alone
But your reckless disposition, Mama, drove your daddy way from home

I don't want no woman, goin' to run around
And drink her whiskey, act like a fanfoot clown
Your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition, baby, drove a good man away from home

I don't want no woman with face like a natural man
When she come to your home there'll be trouble in the land
But let it be her time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove your daddy way from home

Now woman if I had your heart in my hand
I would teach you exactly how to treat a real good man
Because it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home

I tried to treat you good, tried to treat you right
But you stayed off me woman both day and night
Now it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition, honey, drove a good man way from home

Now it's a mighty sad story, misunderstood
Everybody in Atlanta, in my neighborhood
Say it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home
