Mr. McTell Got the Blues by Blind Willie McTell Lyrics

I'm leaving town, baby, gonna leave my home
I’m leaving town, baby, going to leave my home
I'm going where, baby, I'm better known

I done walked these blocks, I got to buy me some shoes
I done walked these blocks, so I got to buy me some shoes
And that is why Mr. McTell got the blues

I got drunk last night, mama, and the night before
Got drunk last night and the night before
And if luck don’t change: Mr McTell won't get drunk no more

Cigarettes is my ruin, whiskey is my cravе
Cigarettes is my ruin, whiskey is my cravе
Some of these nice‑looking women going to carry me to my grave
