- Mississippi Poor Boy Lyrics / with translationsIntroduction
Lord I'm just sitting here looking
over my life, let me take inventory
Because I know you been good to me
you been good to me Lord,
I come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
Come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
Come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
verse (1) I didn't have no money,
a lot of my friends thought that was funny
but i'm so glad today
that i can stand right here and say
that the Lord been good to me
Verse (2)
We were raised in a shack, ya'll.
Sometimes the clothes were thin
That we put on our backs,
But Mamma and Daddy, they done the best they could.
They always told me, "Son, always be good."
And, But out of all the things, hey....
I know that the Lord's been good to me.
Refrain
Oh, he's been good.
Lord I'm just sitting here looking
over my life, let me take inventory
Because I know you been good to me
you been good to me Lord,
I come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
Come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
Come from a poor family;
We didn't have much,
But the Lord's been good to me.
verse (1) I didn't have no money,
a lot of my friends thought that was funny
that i can stand right here and say
that the Lord been good to me
Verse (2)
We were raised in a shack, ya'll.
Sometimes the clothes were thin
That we put on our backs,

I know that the Lord's been good to me.
