Blind willie, he was a blind man
Blind willie, he was a blind man
Didn't have no eyesight, power in his hands
Beatup stella, big 12-string guitar
Beatup stella, big 12-string guitar
Hot shot willie, one-man orchestra
Pocketknife, slidin' up 'n down the strings
Pocketknife, slidin' up 'n down the strings
Broke down engine, how that man could sing
Atlanta georgia, travellin' through the southern land
Atlanta georgia, travellin' through the southern land
Ruthy kate leading willie by the hand
Blind willie, he was a blind man
Hot shot willie, he was a blind man
Didn't have no eyesight, power in his hands
