Woody Guthrie - Poor Boy Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • My mother called me to her bedside
  • These words she said to me
  • If you don't quit your rambling ways
  • They're gonna get you in the penetentiary
  • Gonna get you in the penetentiary poor boy
  • Gonna get you in the penetentiary
  • If you don't quit your reckless ways
  • They're gonna get you in the penetentiary
  • So I sat myself down in a gambling game
  • But I could not play my hand
  • Just thinking about that woman I love
  • Run away with another man
  • Run away with another man poor boy
  • Run away with another man
  • Just thinking about that woman I love
  • Run away with another man
  • The cards came around the table lord
  • And I had such a worried mind
  • My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
  • And I lost about ninety-nine
  • I lost about ninety-nine poor boy
  • I lost about ninety-nine
  • My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
  • And I lost about ninety-nine
  • It wasn't very long till I seen him again
  • He ran away left her behind
  • And I laid him down with my old forty-four
  • And the judge gave me ninety-nine
  • The judge gave me ninety-nine poor boy
  • The judge gave me ninety-nine
  • I laid a man down with my big forty-four
  • And the judge gave me ninety-nine
  • Well the jury said I had to pay
  • And the clerk he wrote it down
  • And the judge called out my number
  • Two sixes upside down
  • Two sixes upside down poor boy
  • Two sixes upside down
  • The judge called out my number
  • Two sixes upside down
