Sonny Terry lyrics

Poor Man But A Good Man blues lyrics

I helped you baby, you couldn't help yourself,
Now, you on your feet, helpin' somebody else.
Chorus: I'm a poor man, but a good man, been treated wrong.
She walked off and left me, she didn't say a word,
Wasn't nothin' she knowed, but somethin' she heard.
Chorus
Bridge: If you don't b'lieve me, people, wait a right round and see,
Somebody gonna mistreat you, like you mistreated me.
I walked down to the station, I looked up on the wall,
My money was too light, I didn't go nowhere at all.
Chorus
