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 »

Some say they done cut whisky out, but you can have a little wine
Most everybody gets on a drunk by drinkin' this ol' moonshine
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Some of our members gets on a drunk they speak their sober minds
And when they raise the devil, they put all the blame on shine
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Some of our preachers just as bad as the members about this ol' moonshine
They'll try to make love with every woman they meet, just fine and drinkin' shine
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Then some of our children are naked, and the mothers never go
But the fathers make that mighty bitey row for the women of the shine and shows
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

They say that yellow corn makes the best kind of shine
Well they better turn that corn to bread and stop that makin' shine
For God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

I know you don't like this song just because I speak my mind
But I'll sing this song just as much as I please, because I don't drink shine
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
Now God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change
