Po' Boy - Herman E. Johnson
Spanish tuning, slide
NOTE: Dashes indicate the guitar finishing a vocal line
I'm the poor boy and a long ways from home
I'm a poor boy and a long ways from home
I'm a poor boy here and I ain't got nowhere to go
I ain't got nowhere to lay my weary head (2)
Rather than fer (sic) you to leave I would rather see you dead
When I left her house, she followed me to her door (2)
"You ain't got no money, man, I'd rather see you go,
Man, I'd rather see you -----, and I'd rather see you go
SOLO
I am talking on that long distance phone (2)
Tryin' to call my little gal but I think she been gone too long,
I think she have been gone too -------
Now, tell me, gal, what you want me to do (2)
I tried so hard and I can't get along with you
I just can't get along with ----, get along with ----, I can't get along with ---
