'You Was Born To Die' BLIND WILLIE McTELL (1933) Blues Guitar Legend

[Woodys1love]

wish you could turn the radio on and still hear this

[noodles41]

bluesin'!

[Jetluffyq8]

the song kinda sounds like "it hurts me too" by "tampa red"

[olafmeister]

"Aahh play that thing boy, I know you're blue!"

[bathewater]

It's a shame when people hear 'born to die' nowadays they think of Lana del ray and not blind Willie McTell

[bdaddyization]

"Don't want no woman that run around, stay out in the street act like a BACKWOOD (?) clown"

[wordlogicvee]
