Po' Boy Blues
By Langston Hughes

When I was home de
Sunshine seemed like gold.
When I was home de
sunshine seemed like gold.
Since I come North de
Whole damn world's turned cold.

I was a good boy,
Never done no wrong.
Yes, I was a good boy,
Never done no wrong,
But this world is weary
An' de road is hard an' long.

I fell in love with
A gal I thought was kind.
Fell in love with
A gal I thought was kind.
She made me lose ma money
An' almost lose ma mind.

Weary, weary,
Weary early in da morn.
Weary, weary,
Weary early in da morn.
I's so weary
I wish I'd never been born.
