Lyrics
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!
We got them Poor Man Blues
Everybody got the Poor Man Blues
Whole world knows the Poor Man Blues
You don't know nothing about the Poor Man Blues
Good God, help me now!
Good God, help me now!
