Aufnahme: New York, September 14, 1933Blind Willie McTell (g)(vcl) Curley Weaver (g)(vcl)William Samuel McTell, better known as Blind Willie McTell (May 5, 1898 (sometimes reported as 1901) -- August 19, 1959), was an influential American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He was a twelve-string finger picking Piedmont blues guitarist, and recorded 149 songs between 1927 and 1956.Born William Samuel McTier in Thomson, Georgia, blind in one eye, McTell had lost his remaining vision by late childhood, but became an adept reader of Braille. He showed an inherent proficiency in music from an early age and learned to play the six-string guitar as soon as he could. His father left the family when McTell was still young, so when his mother died in the 1920s, he left his hometown and became a wandering busker. He began his recording career in 1927 for Victor Records in Atlanta[1].In the years before World War II, he traveled and performed widely, recording for a number of labels under a different name for each one, including Blind Willie McTell (Victor and Decca), Blind Sammie (Columbia), Georgia Bill (Okeh), Hot Shot Willie (Victor), Blind Willie (Vocalion), Red Hot Willie Glaze (Bluebird), Barrelhouse Sammie (Atlantic) and Pig & Whistle Red (Regal). His style was singular: a form of country blues, bridging the gap between the raw blues of the early part of the 20th Century and the more refined East Coast Roots of Blues --...

1920s Stella 12 string demo of how this classic song general goes along and passed along in our home town of Atlanta and surrounding areas. We don't all play it exactly this way live though. McTell, Moss, Weaver, Hicks and the whole legacy of Atlanta blues lives on in this area. Support your local blues musicians.Chords used and lyrics:Dminor, Long A and A7, E7. Then breaks are F, C, F back into Dm. Then end of song has another sequence of chords but they are harder to explain. I'll try. Play G, C, F then walk bass note into Dminor, repeat that again. There's a blend of all these chords getting through the ending and honestly it's really messed up and you have to figure it out by your ear. One of the versions of lyrics I have but I sing based on what I hear on multiple versions. Little Jesse was a gambler, night and dayHe used crooked cards and dice.Sinful guy, good hearted but had no soulHeart was hard and cold like iceJesse was a wild reckless gamblerWon a gang of changeAltho' a many gambler's heart he led in painBegan to spend a-loose his moneyBegan to be blue, sad and all aloneHis heart had even turned to stone.What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all aloneSweet Lorena packed up and gonePolice walked up and shot my friend Jesse downBoys i got to die todayHe had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedsideHere are the words he had to say:Guess I ought to knowExactly how I wants to go(How you wanna go, Jesse?)Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearersLet 'em be veiled down in blackI want nine men going to the graveyard, bubbaAnd eight men comin backI want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-sideCrooked card printed on my hearseDon't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over meMy life been a doggone curseSend poker players to the graveyardDig my grave with the ace of spadesI want twelve polices in my funeral marchHigh sheriff playin' blackjack, lead the paradeI want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 timesPut a pair of dice in my shoes (then what?)Let a deck of cards be my tombstoneI got the dyin' crapshooter's bluesSixteen real good crapshootersSixteen bootleggers to sing a songSixteen racket men gamblin'Couple tend bar while i'm rollin' alongHe wanted 22 womens outta the Hampton Hotel26 off-a South Bell29 women outta North Atlanta Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swellHis head was achin', heart was thumpin'Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin'Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin'He wants everybody to do the charleston whilst he dyin'One foot up, a toenail draggingThrow my buddy Jesse in the hoodoo wagonCome here mama with that can of boozeThe dyin crapshooter's - leavin' the worldThe dyin' crapshooter's - goin' down slowWith the dyin' crapshooter's blues.
