[Verse 1]
G G7
I've traveled from town to town

Seems like everybody wanna throw me down

'Cause I'm a poor man
A7 D7 G C G D
But I'm a good man, understand
[Verse 2]

I went down to the train station

Looked up on the wall

My money was too light, baby
Cm
Couldn't go nowhere at all
G
'Cause I'm a poor man
A7 D7 G C G D
But I'm a good man, understand

The burden that I carry is so heavy, you see

It seems like there ain't nobody in this world

Who would wanna help poor me
[Verse 3]

Well, I would be all right, baby
G7
Just give me a break

Good things come to those who wait

'Cause I've been a good man
A7 D7 G C G D
But I'm a poor man, understand
