Lyrics Fare Thee Well Poor Gal - Ida Cox

Fare Thee Well Poor Gal

Have you heard a story about a poor gal in 'Bam?
Have you heard a story about a poor gal in 'Bam?
I’ve got one for you and it’s mighty sad
Folks, I’ve got no mother, ain’t go no dad
Folks, I’ve got no mother, ain’t go no dad
is the only thing I’ve ever had
The only friend that I had that I really thought was true
The only friend that I had that I really thought was true
said that he was through
I’ve heard the whistle, the fireman rings the bell
I heard the whistle, the fireman rings the bell
I heard my daddy say his last farewell
Folks, I’m just a poor gal, never done nobody wrong
Folks, I’m just a poor gal, never done nobody wrong
But I won’t be a poor gal long
