When a Man's a Long Way From Home Lyrics

Lead Belly

A blues is a feelin′
And when you get blues, it makes some people wear out their shoes
And they got the blues when they wear out their shoes
And blues is a sad news
Yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
Uh-huh
Rock it

Yeah

I'm the poor boy and a stranger blowed in your town, yes I am
I′m the poor boy and I'm a stranger blowed in your town
I'm the poor boy and I′m a stranger blowed in your town
I′m goin' where a friend can be found

I′m the poor boy and I'm a great long ways from home, yes I am
I′m the poor boy and I'm a great long ways from home
I′m the poor boy and I'm a great long ways from home
Can't get nobody to go on my bond
Go on and play yourself now

Yeah
I′m gonna sing this verse and I won′t sing it no more
I'm gonna sing this verse and I won′t sing no more
Gonna sing this verse and I won't sing no more
I′m goin' back to Chicago
