poor boy blues - carl perkins lyrics

one more time
just a little thing they call they poor man blues
i’ve been a working in a cotton field way down south
choppin and a pickin’ lord and followin’ the plow
tryin to make a livin’ on the poor hard ground
i asked for a loan but the boss turned me down
but i’ll keep on a workin’ cause a can’t get down
another load of cotton’ gotta take into town
i’ll take my little money and buy a new par’ shoes
i got a woman sittin home humming the poor boy blues
she goes ahummmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahummmmmmmmm poor old soul she goes ahummmmmmmmmmm mmmm mmmm
just a little thing they call the poor boys blues

i got in debt to the bank and now i can’t move on
i’ll stay in the field til the last bo’s gone
i got one old mule, that i recon’ is my own
they might keep me down but i’ll keep humming my song
i’ll go ammmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahummmm mmmmm
one more time ammmmmmm mmmmmmmm aummm mmmmmm
just a little thing they call the poor boys blues

ah they say the great society goin’ a change a few things
a farmer like me i wonder what it’s goin’a bring
i don’t pay taxes i say it with a smile
cause i ain’t never made enough in my life to file
but i’ll keep on a workin’ til the lord calls me home
thats when i’ll know if i
