Charlie Daniels Band, The - Blind Man Lyrics
On a cold concrete sidewalk, on the corner of Fifth and Main
Sits an old black blind man, and no one knows his name.
He plays the same old guitar, he plays the same old tune
And when the people pass him by, some are heard to say
“Play, let the blind man play”.
He was a cotton picker down in Alabam’
Daddy never amounted to much; died by his own hand
He lost his sight one terrible night by the hand of the Ku Klux Klan
Burned his eyes with a branding iron some are heard to say;
Play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play!
And no one cried when the blind man died, with the name that no one knew
They made his coffin outta knotty pine, with a wreath of laurel too
His epitaph was short and sweet, and all it said was "Play".
Play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play
Play that guitar blind man!

Still a great song
That's more like it
A Meloncholy But Uplifting Song ... Play Blind Man Play
love this song
I love this song, and played it in my solo sets for a good decade or more. And I always loved the fact that Charlie was reminding his core group of fans of the fact that Southerners had a deep history of racism, hatred and intense violence against the blacks through the years leading up to that song's release in 1978. And sadly enough, it's still going on today. I wonder how Charlie feels about this song's lyrics now? His politics have shifted towards the side of the people who still practice racism and yes, even violence against African Americans. And that social and political shift of his has always puzzled me.
When it comes to interracial violence whites are far more likley to be the VICTIM! Look up the stats and drop the silly ass white guilt!

The album is titled, Million Mile Reflections. It's actually a pretty good album for an old country record. The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Mississippi, Rainbow Bridge, Blind Man.

RIP Tommy Crain. Great man, great guitar player
I have to agree, Million Mile Reflections was a great album. I got the 8 track for Christmas the year it came out and I was probably the ONLY kid in my school ( being from NY ) that was exposed to Southern Rock outside of Lynrd Skynrd. Thanks for this video. Great B side!
I bought the 8 track and played it almost to the point of wearing it out, but my brother stole it and god knows what happen to it after that
NO WAY.... WOW.... Man this is great111
