Country Boy Blues - Otis Spann

You know I’m just a country boy

In a long, long way from home

You know me as a poor country boy, all right

And I’m a long, long way from home

You know peoples, I can’t read or write

People please don’t do me wrong

Can you remember baby

Can you remember the words you said

Can you remember the words you said

When I was sick and down woman

I needed you to rub my aching head

I was born in the country baby

People said I’ve never been to town

Yes I was born in the country

People said I never been to town

You know, why don’t you reconsider baby

Stop and leave your burden down

You know I been having trouble lately wherever I go

I been having trouble everywhere I go

Yes, because I’m a country boy

I’ve been drifting from door to door

Imma catch it first thing smokin'

Back down the road, I’m gone

Imma catch it first thing smokin'

People down the road, I’m gone

You know I’m going back to Mississippi

People where I was bred and born
