    Seen the arrow on the doorpost
    Saying, “This land is condemned
    All the way from New Orleans
    To Jerusalem”
    I traveled through East Texas
    Where many martyrs fell
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie McTell
    Well, I heard that hoot owl singing
    As they were taking down the tents
    The stars above the barren trees
    Were his only audience
    Them charcoal gypsy maidens
    Can strut their feathers well
    But nobody can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie McTell
    See them big plantations burning
    Hear the cracking of the whips
    Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
    See the ghosts of slavery ships
    I can hear them tribes a-moaning
    Hear that undertaker’s bell
    Nobody can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie McTell
    There’s a woman by the river
    With some fine young handsome man
    He’s dressed up like a squire
    Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
    There’s a chain gang on the highway
    I can hear them rebels yell
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie McTell
    Well, God is in His heaven
    And we all want what’s his
    But power and greed and corruptible seed
    Seem to be all that there is
    I’m gazing out the window
    Of the St. James Hotel
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie McTell

    Probably his finest Outtake ever & One of his own top ten colletected. All the three takes circuilating are perfect themselves but at the same Time each One Is the Natural compendium for the others.
    Any single Singer/songwriter would kill for composing such masterpiece & Him discarted it All! Only another Pearl of an unmatched Carrer. That's makes the really far distance beetween His Bobness & the rest of the World!
    The Song itself Is a sort of brief American Great Novel. In less of six minutes describes, more best than an entire film or book, the U.S. South & human condition driven by the burden of the corruptible seed of greed. Each single Word strikes the target. His Voice & the sound are poignant & full of regret.
    Totally on Fire & kissed by an Amazing Grace.
    May the Lord protect him & the Ones he loves the most!.
    May His Art stay Forever Young.

Mick Taylor also played and as Knopfler is not a session musician perhaps he didn't have time to play on all of the tracks.

    Mick Taylor on slide. When you listen to Infidels with headphones (which I did a lot when I was 18) Mick Taylor plays on the left channel & Mark is on the right, throughout. Slide & finger picking.

    In 2007 a friend of mine named Patty Heron from Alabama presents me this song, lately I realize that it was written by a brasilian musician named Tulio Mourão my compatriot and for sure no one could sing it better than Bob Dylan. It’s definitely my favorite song.
