Poor Boy Smokin' Blues lyrics

Left my home when I was a boy Found me a job up north in detroit Worked long hours just to pay my bills While the rich man lived in the mansion on the hill Smoke all night and I smoke all day Smoke my whole damn life away Smoked the soles right off of my shoes I got the poor boy smokin' blues Call me a country boy, call me what you will But I ain't no crook looking for a way to steal Work long hours just to pay my way Lord, I barely make it from day to day Smoke all night and I smoke all day Smoke my whole damn life away Smoked the soles right off of my shoes I got the poor boy smokin' blues
