Poor Boy

Poor boy ain't got no clue
ain't nothing special he can do
but he can pick that cotten bale or go, man, go
and he can pack a mean six gun
and funnel enough liquor on the run
to keep his good gal waiting back home.

And he don't wait for no heat
to put him in retreat.
He'd be the first to tell you he's alone
on that old coyote trail
where picking cotton never fails
to hide you and send the proceeds back home.

Poor boy he's got no choice
but to whisper in a voice
that tells you he's been up to no good
with his cotton bale well round
and his head pointing to the ground
listening for the heat hooves in the woods..
and he don't wait for no heat
to put him in retreat
he'll grab his 20 cents like a poor boy should
and he's off the other way
way on south to Mobile Bay
where he'd only sail away if he could.

Poor boy ain't got no clue
ain't nothing special he can do
but he can pick a rotten bale or go, man, go
and he can pack a mean six gun
and funnel enough liquor on the run
to keep his good gal waiting back home.
to keep his good gal waiting back home.
to keep his good gal waiting back home.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
