- Poor House Lyrics / with translationsYou walk in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen,
Serving me with papers,
Calling me obscene.
Woman I've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
And you'll take all the rest.
Up all day, Down all night
Working on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up right.
Woman I try so hard
Done all I can do.
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
Leave all the best for you.
ooo in the poor house
ooo in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Will you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door
Woman , I've done my best
They're ain't much left for me.
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
And throw away the key.
ooo in the poor house
repeat 1st verse

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the Traveling Wilburys' song "Poor House" gives vent to a person's predominance over life's obstacles and obligations, likened to the metaphor of being confined in the "poor house." There, everything is seized. The singer's tone, through the lyrics, points to a conflict and injustice, lamenting the fact that though he is doing his utmost, he is still losing everything, or at least a part of it, to somebody else. Poor house lyrics largely depict despair, heartbreak, angst, love and anger. On the other hand, the song's message is that of enduring struggle, hardship, unrequited love, and effort and frustration. The lyrics present different aspects of relationship difficulties as well as financial constraints that parents might want to consider before subjecting their kids to the song's listening without supervision. No offensive words are used, and no graphic situations are depicted, yet the themes might need some parental advice.
