Poor Boy Blues
08/18/12 - FtLd


Went to work on Monday
Some one sitting in my chair
Bossman says you been fired
Yeah you no longer work here
So I just turned around
And left there without a care
What’s a poor boy to do (2x)

Went down to the Grailey
Just to have a drink or two
But my wallet it was empty
Bossman never did pay good
So I sat there at the bar
Drinking water through a straw
What’s a poor boy to do (2x)

Got home to find my roommates
Sitting round getting high
They said why ain’t you out working
So I told a little lie
I said work is overrated
And life’s too short to wonder why
What’s a poor boy to do (2x)

Mary said you do not look good
Here this brownie it’s for you
It’ll take away your troubles
Make a new man out of you
So she stuck it in my mouth
But god damn I could not chew
What’s a poor boy to do (2x)

So I’m sitting in my bedroom
Wondering where to go from here
Life you know it ain’t been easy
And it ain’t getting easier
So I’ll just lay here in my bed
Til I think of something new
What’s a poor boy to do (2x)
