Copied!
"Yeah, hello Central, give me 2-8-9
I wants to talk to that little angel of mine"
"Y'hello sugar bunch is this you?
Called you to find out what you're goin-a do"

You left your daddy early in the fall
Don't come back now, don't you come back at all
I love you sugar, I swear that's true
Don't want your papa then the hell with you
Don't forget it, don't forget it
Please, answer lil angel, tell me what you're goin-a do

I hate to tell it on the telephone
Done got tired of lingerin' all alone
Days are lonesome and the nights get long
Ain't had no right lovin' since you been gone
Don't forget it, don't forget it
Please, answer hot mama, tell me what you're going-a do

Sweet and slow
Shake me sugar mama till I don't wanna go
An' don't forget it, don't forget it
Please, answer hot mama, tell me what you're going-a do

Gotta put your arms around me like a circle round the sun
Stop and think fast, I want my lovin' done
Take time sugar and ease my misery
Get right, talk baby, talk to me
Don't forget it, don't forget it
Please, answer hot mama, tell me what you're going-a do

Y'know this is about the last thing I've gotta say
Hang up the receiver and be on your way
Hurry home woman and love me with a thrill
If you don't some other woman will
Don't forget it, don't forget it
Please, answer pretty mama, tell me what you're going-a do

Biography

Blind Willie McTell, born William Samuel McTier in 1898, was a pioneering blues guitarist known for writing enduring standards such as “Statesboro Blues” and “Southern Can is Mine”. Despite being born blind in one eye, he lost his sight completely by the time he was a young man. McTell showed musical prodigy at a young age, excelling in playing harmonica and accordion before transitioning to the guitar, specifically the acoustic 12-string which became his signature instrument.

After his mother passed away in the 1920s, McTell was left to pursue a life as a wandering songster, recording for Victor Records in 1927 under various pseudonyms before settling on the stage name Blind Willie McTell. His laid-back style, tenor voice, and unique 12-string guitar sound made him a standout in the blues and ragtime music scene. Despite some success with recording deals, McTell's career was cut short due to poor sales, complications with diabetes, and ongoing struggles with alcoholism.

However, McTell continued to busk and in 1956, a record store manager in Atlanta discovered him and convinced him to record a few songs, which were later released as the Last Session in 1962. By 1957, McTell had found a new calling as a Baptist preacher at Mt. Zion Church in Atlanta, but sadly, he suffered a stroke in 1959 and passed away at the age of 61.

After his death, Blind Willie McTell's influence continued to grow, with modern rock artists such as The White Stripes, The Allman Brothers Band, and Bob Dylan paying tribute to him in their work. A blues bar in Atlanta is named in his honor, showcasing local blues musicians every night. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, Blind Willie McTell's music and legacy have endured, cementing his status as a legendary figure in the blues genre.
