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 »

And we're going to meet old death one day
And we're going to meet old death one day
we're going to judgement after a while
we got to greet death with a smile
Oh we got to meet old death one day

While mother said to her daughter
Daughter you prepare
You got to find the gold or glory
Try to meet him there
Well I heard her daughter say
I'm gonna meet in that day
But I've got to meet my death one day
I got to meet my death one day
I'm going to judgement after a while
I got to greet death with a smile
Cos I got to meet my death one day

While father said to his mother
Mother you prepare
You got to find the gold or the glory
And you try to meet him there
Well I heard his mother say
Think I'll meet him in the day
Cos I got to meet my death one day
I got to meet my death one day
I'm going to judgement after a while
I got to greet death with a smile
Cos I got to meet my death one day

Oh deacon you get ready
To meet your god on high
They'll be riding
He will not pass you by
Well he's riding at every door
Well you are ready and low
You got to meet your death one day
Yes you got to meet your death one day
You're going to judgement after a while
You got to greet death with a smile
Cos you got to meet your death one day
Yes you got to meet your death one day
And you got to meet your death one day
You're going to judgement after a while
You got to greet death with a smile
Cos you got to meet your death one day
