Poor Boys Blues

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, something a little heavier from me this time, hope you enjoy.    Willie

You look at me like I'm no good
Should be surprised But I knew you would
You look me up you look me down
You fix my place that's somewhere near the ground

This aint the life, this aint the life you know I'd choose
Some are winners, and some gotta lose
Ah these poor boy blues

You won't speak or look my way
Aint that a pity I hear you say
But you turn round and cross the street
Aint got the money for the shoes upon my feet

This aint the life, this aint the life you know I'd choose
Some are winners, and some gotta lose
Ah these poor boy blues

Inst

This aint the life, this aint the life you know I'd choose
Some are winners, and some gotta lose
Ah these poor boy blues

Maybe one day I'll turn it round
I'll be right up there, you'll be on the ground
I won't break,no I won't cry
And I won't laugh as you pass me by

This aint the life, this aint the life you know I'd choose
Some are winners, and some gotta lose
Ah these poor boy blues

Yeah poor blues, poor boy blues, fade

Nice groove, Willie! Lead guitar additions works well!

[Johnny Robbo]

Lovely stuff, Willie! It's got your stamp all over it, mate. Great lyrics, a strong melody, great production... it ticks all the boxes!

[Blooby]

Your chorus is just perfectly Willie for this tune. Didn't see it coming, and it was just the right thing.

Nice production here. The low end feels good coming through the speakers.

One of your best ones willie,I love the storyline and the lyrics on this.
I was in the city centre just the other day watching some poor dude lying in a mass of blankets in an old shop,doorway and the lyrics of this song could have been his story.
Everybody including myself just walked by ,glanced and took it to be the norm.
Great performance,well done.
