Roosevelt Sykes Poor Boy Blues
Lord I'm a poor boy : I'm going to and fro
What's on my mind : don't nobody know
Lord I am disgusted : and heart‑broken too
So I went back to my mama : nothing else I can do
Poor boy poor boy : ain't got no friends at all
Lord I'm just like a rat : running from stall to stall
Lord : have mercy on me please
Lord I just want you : give this poor boy's heart some
ease
