[00:00.00]The Blind Child - Levon Helm
[00:13.57]They tell me father that tonight
[00:19.36]You'll wed another bride
[00:25.21]That you will clasp her in your arms
[00:31.17]Where my dear mother died
[00:37.19]They say her name is Mary too
[00:42.93]The name my mother wore
[00:48.98]But tell me father is she kind
[00:54.80]As the one you loved before
[01:00.67]And is her step so soft and light
[01:06.47]Her voice so meek and mild
[01:12.38]And tell me father will she love
[01:18.14]Your blind and helpless child
[01:46.97]Her picture is resting on the shelf
[01:52.70]Her books are lying near
[01:58.54]And there's the harp her fingers touched
[02:04.56]And there's her vacant chair
[02:10.48]The chair whereby beside I knelt
[02:16.21]To say my evening prayer
[02:21.86]Oh father do not bid me come
[02:27.83]I could not meet her there
[02:33.74]Well his head fell back and his eyes were closed
[02:39.74]His little dark curly hair
[02:45.44]And the very last words that the blind child spoke
[02:51.10]There'll be no blind ones there
[02:57.06]And the very last words that the blind child spoke
[03:02.63]There'll no blind ones there
