Understand Songtext
von B.B. King

I′ve traveled from town to town
Seems like everybody wanna throw me down
'Cause I′m a poor man
But I'm a good man, understand?

I went down to the train station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, baby
Couldn't go nowhere at all
′Cause I′m a poor man
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

Well, I, I would be all right, baby
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
'Cause I′ve been a good man
But I'm a poor man, understand?

My burden is so heavy, can′t you see?
Seems like ain't nobody in this world
That would wanna help poor me


Well, I'd be all right, baby
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
′Cause I′ve been a good man
But I'm a poor man, understand?
