Poor Mans Blues

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, yet another quick recording, hope you enjoy.   Willie

Wind keeps blowing and it looks like rain
Got no job I'm in the queue again
Looking for a handout to mend my shoes
Guess I've got a poor mans blues

Sold the farm 'cos it weren't no good
I paid my debts like a good man should
Bowl of soup and a piece of bread
Won't be long 'til I think I am dead

Spent my last money on a bottle of wine
Lying on the sidewalk well it ain't no crime
Wife left me for a richer man
I got no job but I do what I can

Sold the farm 'cos it weren't no good
I paid my debts like a good man should
Bowl of soup and a piece of bread
Won't be long 'til I think I am dead

Instrumental

Sold the farm 'cos it weren't no good
I paid my debts like a good man should
Bowl of soup and a piece of bread
Won't be long 'til I think I'll be dead

It keeps on raining the sun don't shine
If you wanna talk, well, I've got the time
So I just sit hoping hoping for news
I guess I've got a poor mans blues

Sold the farm 'cos it weren't no good
I paid my debts like a good man should
Bowl of soup and a piece of bread
Won't be long 'til I think I am dead

Outro

[Farrell Jackson]

A cool song with a country roots blues vibe. The guitar solos are tops...I dig those whammy parts you've put in. Some fine vocals and story lyrics! 

[WarpCanada]

It's a great country rock jam, in the tradition of Steve Earle.

Good lyrics and great playing.

[StephenM]

jangly, raspy greatness.... a real treat of sounds... the voice over that guitar sounds so familiar...like I have heard it all my life on the radio...

superior tune...superior... and so well played.

[the physics teacher]

Oh well, that was a treat for the ears.

[BerryPatch]

Straight off the bat, amazing guitar work! Those licks are so great, with excellent tone. The lyrics really well done here as well. Really fine work!

[hardlock]

Whammy licks give a pedal steel guitar vibe - dig this style alot and this song nails it!

[cuthbert]

Always love it when the jangle comes to town. Great bluesy lyrics, with the arrangement in your inimitable style. They fit together so well.

[Mike_S]

Ah yes, this is what i needed. It's been a hard week, head has been wrecked with life stuff but this is what i needed. Love those honest down on your luck lyrics. Heart on the sleeve, fantastic. Beautiful soulful guitar, Willie it doesn't get any better that this....thank you for another quality tune.
