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 had a gal, of teasing brown
But I did not treat her right
I acted a fool
I let her down
Another gal I'll treat right
But if I ever get lucky again
Gone get myself a teasing brown
Because they are the best gals in your town
A teasing brown is the best brown after all
They will sit by you through spring summer and fall
Now lots of folks claim
A monkey man of dark colour
Is really gone crazy
By a real hot yellow
Now a yellow boys
That ain't all
The night that you come home 
Another mule is in your stall
Yellow gal with lots of money
She will sing
Telling all dark men she ain't 
Putting out a thing
Now brown will have a dollar
You can see it in her hands
To fish for herself boys
And six fish for her man
Now brown will love you
Treat you right
That home - all day and night
Work till you
But a brown is alright
Yellow girl gets 25 years old
She throws up like tripe
Teasing brown is best brown after all
