Sleepy John Estes Poor John Blues Lyrics

Now I'd rather be dead : sleep in an old hollow log
And to be here baby : and you doing me like a dog

Now : what you want poor John to do
Lord I done everything : tried to get along with you

Now the woman I'm loving : she got one teeth solid gold Lord that's been the onliest woman : got a mortgage on my
soul

Now sure as the grass : on Texas earth grow green
Lord I ain't crazy : about nobody I ever seen
