Blind Willie Mctell Writin' Paper Blues Lyrics

I wrote you a letter mama : put it in your front yard
I would love to come to see you : but your good mens got
me barred

Oh you wrote me a letter : to come back to Newport News
To leave the town : and don't spread the news

I wrote you a letter mama : sent you a telegram
Not to meet me in Memphis : but meet me in Birmingham

Mmm : hear my weep and moan Now don't you hear me pleading : hear my grieve and groan

Now if I could get me : one more drink of booze
I guess it would ease : these old writing paper blues

I caught a freight train special : and my mama caught a
passenger behind
Because you can't quit me papa : there's no need in
trying
