Poor Man Blues

Well Mama she's working in the kitchen
 but the pantry done run dry
 Thinking 'bout all those mouths to feed
 and Mama just up and cry
 Daddy he's working in the field all day
 but he can't get the whip to crack
 There's a man from the bank calling on the telephone
 said "I want my money back!"
 We got them Poor Man Blues
 Everybody got the Poor Man Blues
 Whole world knows the Poor Man Blues
 You can't do nothing about the Poor Man Blues
 Good God, help me now!

 Well Brother he up and robbed the liquor store
 sheriff said he can't go back to town no more.
 Gonna join the U.S.M.C. gonna fight
 the rich man's "Woah, now now now..."
 Sister she been skimming off of Mama's pills
 and she's wishing she could sell what's left
 Cause' there's man downtown in a shiny black car
 got a debt he won't forget.
 We got them Poor Man Blues
 Everybody got the Poor Man Blues
 Whole world knows the Poor Man Blues
 You can't do nothing about the Poor Man Blues
 Good God, help me now!

 I'm out traveling town to town
 I'm just trying to pay my dues.
 I got a new guitar and beat up car.
 It's a fast track for the Poor Man Blues,
 I got 'em!

 Everybody got the Poor Man Blues
 Whole world knows the Poor Man Blues
