Burl Ives "Po' boy" |
Artist: Burl Ives Title: Po' boy --------------- As I sat down to see how the cards read I could not hold my hand Got a thinking about the woman I love Run away with another man Run away with another man poor boy Run away with another man Got a thinking about the woman I loved Run away with another man I went down to the train depot The train came rumbling by Well I looked in a window Saw the woman I loved And I hung down my head and cried I hung down my head and cried I jumped right on that train platform I ran right down the isle well I pulled out my fourty some odd And I shot that dark-skin child The night was dark and the wind blew The rain it sure did rain Well I ain't got a friend in this whole wide world Nobody knows my name Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
