Poor John Blues Songtext
von Sleepy John Estes

Now, I′d rather be dead than sleepin' in a hollow log
Now, I′d rather be dead than sleepin' in a hollow log
Than to be here, baby, and you're turnin′ me like a dog


Now, what you want poor John to do?
Now, what you want poor John to do?
Lord, I done done everything, tryin′ to get along with you

Now, the woman I'm lovin′, she got one piece solid gold
Now, the woman I'm lovin′, she got one piece solid gold
Lord, that's an honest woman, got more cash than my soul

Now, sure as the grass on this Texas night grow green
Now, sure as the grass on this Texas night grow green
Lord, I ain′t crazy 'bout nobody I ever seen
