Blind Willie, he was a blind man 
Blind Willie, he was a blind man 
Didn't have no eyesight, power in his hands 
Beatup Stella, big 12-string guitar 
Beatup Stella, big 12-string guitar 
Hot shot Willie, one-man orchestra 
Pocketknife, slidin' up 'n down the strings 
Pocketknife, slidin' up 'n down the strings 
Broke down engine, how that man could sing 
Atlanta Georgia, travellin' through the southern land 
Atlanta Georgia, travellin' through the southern land 
Ruthy Kate leading Willie by the hand 
Blind Willie, he was a blind man 
Hot shot Willie, he was a blind man 
Didn't have no eyesight, power in his hands
