A Poor Man’s Plea Lyrics by Buddy Guy, Junior Wells

Play the Blues

0

Who's been in here
Since I’ve been gone?
Li'l black boy
With a dirty horn
Tryin' to love my baby
Tryin’ to love my baby
Well I don't care
Of what the people say
Lord, I got to love you baby
Any old way
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
Don't you leave me, baby
The people in the neighborhood
Tryin' to tell my pain
But I don't care
Of what they all say
I’m gonna keep my baby
I got to keep my baby
I got to keep my baby
I got to keep my baby
Moanin’ and I'm groanin’
Talkin' outta my head
I be so glad
Sometimes I wish I was dead
'Cause I love my baby
Lord, I love this woman
I'm tellin’ ya that I need her
I got to, got to, got to have her
I'm tellin' ya that I need her
I want her by my side
Believe I'll blow a little bit right here
Tell me that you love me
Don't tell no lie
Lord, I don't wanna
Uh, do you wanna die?
I love you, baby
I love you, baby
I just love my baby
I just love my baby
I just love my baby
