I`ve traveled from town to town
Seems like everybody wanna throw me down
`Cause I`m a poor man
But I`m a good man, understand
I went down to the train station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, baby
Couldn`t go nowhere at all
I`m a poor man
But I`m a good man, understand
The burden that I carry is so heavy, you see
It seems like there ain`t nobody in this world
Who would wanna help poor me
Well, I would be all right, baby
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
`Cause I`ve been a good man
But I`m a poor man, understand
