Poor Boy A Long Ways From Home Lyrics

Barbecue Bob Poor Boy A Long Ways From Home

I'm a poor boy : I'm a long way from home
I'm a poor boy : ain't got nowhere to go

Ain't got nowhere : to lay my worried head
Sometime : I'd sooner to be dead


Please tell me : what you going to do

I left my brown : standing in the door
What you reckon she said : you're not obliged to go

I'm a poor boy : stood on the road and cried
I didn't have no blues : just couldn't be satisfied

Now give me : long‑distance phone
I want to hear : from my sweet mama back home

I said to her : ring six four nine
I want to hear : from that bobcat gal of mine
