Lyrics

Blind Willie was a gospel preaching man
Sang in the morning light
But he cried in the darkness of his night
He made his stand in a fearing land
Was hard on a motherless child
In the years of his teens he was wild
Play your sad song and make it shine
Don't make it long before you're feeling fine
Blue guitar playing
On a prison ball game
I pity the man that changes his ways
He was brave out making waves
On the streets of a river boat town
Said "I swear I'm going to tear that building down"
Blind Willie was a gospel preaching man
Sang in the morning light
But he cried in the darkness of his night
Play your sad song and make it shine
Don't make it long before you're feeling fine
Blue guitar playing
On a prison ball game
I pity the man who changes his ways
(x2)
