Intro

Mmmmmmm

Mmmmmmm

Verse 1

Moan to me no not my baby

Going back down to the Delta

In the air you hear them holla

Sweating in the southern humidity

Chorus

Black blind men on corners

Singing for their rent & dinner

Blind Willie Johnson moan to me

Whaling about Black reality

Verse 2

No lyrics no words

It’s all about feelings

Free like a bird

But with no wings

Chorus

Black blind men on corners

Singing for their rent & dinner

Blind Willie Johnson moan to me

Whaling about Black reality

Bridge

Not one tear, Jim Crow fear

Michelle Alexander yeah it’s still here

Lets all moan

Trying to connect with our cell phones

Verse 3

All we want is human touch

Is that asking too much?

Going back down to the Delta

News coming from the Blues, don’t need media

Chorus

Black blind men on corners

Singing for their rent & dinner

Blind Willie Johnson moan to me

Whaling about Black reality

Verse 4

Blues women show Hip-Hop queens

How to get it done and work behind the scenes

Reveal to them who were really pulling the strings

On guitar and yeah we have come so far

Verse 5

Moan for me

Moan about the game we still have to play

Moan cause nothing has change

Moan there are no words to say

 Outro

Moan for me

Mmmmmmm

Mmmmmmm

Blind Willie Johnson moan to me
