Blind Willie Mctell - You Was Born To Die
Oh, play that thing boy, I know you're blue
Play me a black few.
Don't want no woman that run around
Stay out in the street, act like a badfoot clown.
You made me love you, and you made me cry
You should remember, that you was born to die.
Some streams are yellow, somethin' black and brown
I got a black woman, used to be the woman in town.
You made me love you, and you made me cry
You should remember, that you was born to die.
Play it now for me!.
I'm home at morning, face full of frown
I know about that baby, you been running around.
You made me love you, and you made me cry
You should remember, that you was born to die.
Now look here woman, give me your right hand
I go to my woman, you go to your man.
You made me love you, and you made me cry
You should remember, that you was born to die...
1959 년 당뇨병과 알콜중독으로 병원 입원했지만 그 해를 넘기지
못하고 사망한 가수 블라인드 윌리멕텔.1933년 곡입니다.
맥텔의 영향력은 그의 "Statesboro Blues"를 커버한 올맨 브라더스 밴드와
1983년 그의 노래 "Blind Willie McTell"에서 그에게 경의를 표한 밥 딜런을
포함한 다양한 예술가들에 걸쳐 확대되었는데,
"그리고 나는 아무도 블라인드 윌리 맥텔과 같은 블루스를
부를 수 없다는 것을 알고 있다."며 경외심을 보인 가수들이 넘쳐 납니다.
McTell의 영향을 받은 다른 아티스트로는 Taj Mahal, Alvin Youngblood Hart,
Ralph McTell, Chris Smither, Jack White 및 White Stripes가 있습니다.
