Poor Boy Long Ways From Home Songtext
von Bukka White

Poor boy a long way from home
Poor boy I′m a long way from home
Poor boy I'm a long way from home
I don′t have no happy home to go home to


When I left my home my baby's in my arms
When I left my home my baby's in my arms
When I left my home my baby′s in my arms
She wanna know, ′Daddy, when you comin' back home?′

They got me down here on the Farm
Got me down here on old Farm
I don't have no one to come and go my bail
Baby, I wanna come back home to you

Sorry, baby I can′t call you over the phone
Sorry, I can't call you over the phone
′Cause they got me down here long distance phone
But I can't call you baby over the phone.
