Blind Willie Johnson’s Final Days
Daniel Johnson
Oh where should a blind man go?
Oh where should a blind man go?
When the fire eats his house,
How does the blind man roam?
I sleep in the tub of my home
I sleep in the tub of my home
All the love my love have shown
Oh where should a blind man go?
I pray to you Lord and play
I pray to you Lord and play
Underneath the shining Beaumont sun
I thank you Lord for my good sum.
I’m weak with this Texas fever.
I’m weak with this Texas fever.
I don’t know if a doc could be of help,
But I know it’s coming nearer.
My home, I’m gonna leave this place.
My home, I’m gonna leave this place.
I go with my guitar in case
And I’m gonna look in my mama’s face.
Daniel Johnson is a 21 year old English major who enjoys music of the delta blues.
