from
The Folkways Years, 1944-1963 (Smithsonian/Folkways CD-SF-40033)
I helped you baby, you couldn't help yourself
Now, you on your feet, helpin' somebody else
I'm a poor man, but a good man, been treated wrong
She walked off and left me, she didn't say a word
Wasn't nothin' she knowed, but somethin' she heard
I'm a poor man, but a good man, been treated wrong
If you don't b'lieve me, people, wait a right round and see
Somebody gonna mistreat you, like you mistreated me
I walked down to the station, I looked up on the wall
My money was too light, I didn't go nowhere at all
I'm a poor man, but a good man, been treated wrong
Here is the table of contents.
