Poor Boy Blues

It's Easy to See a Poor Boy's Blues

When He's Working Every Day

It's Harder to Be There in His Shoes

He Was Born to Be That Way

If I Tell You Tomorrow I'm Leaving

Would You Understand the Reason Why?

A Poor Boy Works Hard For His Living

But a Rich Man He Plays to Pass the Time

So Goodbye, Pleased to Know You

We Had Some Laughs Along the Way

But I Have to Be Leaving

And There's Nothing You Can Do to Make Me Stay

If I Tell You Tomorrow I'm Leaving

Would You Understand the Reason Why?
