I been mistreated all my days

Po’ boy got nowhere to lay his head

Well, rock was my pillah las’ night

Clothes all wet, feet on the ground

Po’ boy, dey don’t give me no show

Law’, I’m so worried I don’t know what to do

I’m gonna ketch dat train, don’t know where it’s from

The workhouse settin’ ’way out on lonesome road

Always wanderin’ about

Nowhere to lay my head
