| Worn out suit, worn shoes
|
| I got no money to pay my dues
|
| Yodal-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues
|
| There’s soda pop over that hill
|
| But I got no car or a dollar bill
|
| Yodal-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues
|
| Well I got no money and I got no home
|
| Just my draft pick shoes and the world to roam
|
| A ridin' the rails and seein' the sites
|
| Sleepin' all day and stayin' up nights
|
| Well I got no ride, but that’s alright
|
| I’ll jump a freight train later on tonight
|
| Yodal-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues
|
| (repeat refrain)
|
| Well I got no money to pay my rent
|
| Just a pocket full of change worth fifteen cents
|
| Yodal-lay-ee oh lord I got the poor boy blues |
