Poor Sam Jones Lyrics by Mickey Woods

The Complete Motown Singles | Vol. 1: 1959-1961

0

Poor Sam Jones
He left his family twenty years ago
Now he's rich as he can be
But he lives his life in misery
He was such a fool
To go and say goodbye
To three crying children and a nagging wife
But times were hard and life was fast
Now loneliness has caught him at last
He looked so overwhelmed
He's getting gray
His youngest child is a man today
If - If only could live back then
He'd never make that same mistake again
Well now, he's got money
And he's got friends
But none will stick to the bitter, bitter end
With - with all his money and all that he owns
Poor Sam Jones will die alone
