Roosevelt Sykes — Poor Boy Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
