On a stone cold night in Memphis

Willie Harper came to town

With a blue tick hound at his heels

And a dime in his shoe

Uh he could make that guitar sing

You should have heard that pavement ring

When Blind Willie Harper played the blues

And he'd sing hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

All alone in the dark this way

Hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

With these blind man dues to pay

And these blues to play

In the scarlet light of Beal Street

Willie Harper found a home

A any song you name he don't refuse

Sweet or dirty

White or black

Just drop a nickel in the hat

And hear Blind Willie Harper play the blues

And he'd sing hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

All alone in the dark this way

Hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

With these blind man dues to pay

And these blues to play

Willie stops in the middle of the song

As a love dealing lady walks by

He says a you smell sweet

Like someone I once knew

Then he touches her face

And some words are said

And a knife blade shines

And her blood runs red

Blind Willie walks off singing the blues

On a stone cold night in Memphis

They took Blind Willie down

They shaved his head

Took away his shoes

Now from a window of a Beal Street jail cell

Sad as a whipperwill clear as a bell

We heard Blind Willie Harper singing the blues

And he'd sing hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

All alone in the dark this way

Hey Jenny

Why'd you go and leave me

With these blind man dues to pay

blues to play

We heard Blind Willie Harper singing the blues
