Bukka White - Po Boy

      [Verse]
G               C
Poor boy he was traveling
G               D
The king of the road
G               C
Poor boy he got hungry,
D                               G
He didn't even have no where to go.

[Verse]
G               C
Poor boy says I hate for
G                      D
That evening sun going down,
G                          C
The curb, the rocks are my pillow
        D                       G
And the cold ground my sleeping place.

[Verse]
G                           C
Poor boy's mama come to see him,
G                          D
Frightened, sad and prison bound,
G                   C
When she looked and see him,
D                             G
How she went to screaming and crying.

G                  C
Take back your old mother,
G                      D
Poor boy now is prison bound,
G                     C
Oh she kneeled on her knee,
D                          G
How old mother screams and cries.

[Verse]
G               C
Oh she said goodbye,
G                       D
Your mama's gonna leave lone,
G                         C
She said if you be a good boy,
D                       G
You will be home by and by.
