Poor And Ain’t Got A Dime Lyrics by Floyd Council

Carolina Blues 1937-1947

1937

Well, I've been laying upstairs, layin' on my cold iron bed
Yea, I've been laying upstairs, layin' on my cold iron bed
When I received the news, the woman I loved was dead
I didn't have no money, then I could not go home
I didn't have no money, then I could not go home
And I walked to my window, I dropped my head to moan
Lord, Lord, woman I love is dead and gone
Lord, Lord, woman I love is dead and gone
Yea, I am broke and hungry, five hundred miles from home
Yeah, whew-yeah!
Yeah, whеw-yeah!
Yeah, whew-yеah, a-ha!
I'm goin' down to the river, fall on my bended knee
I'm goin' down to the river, fall on my bended knees
I'm gonna ask the good lord to help me, help me please
