Classic Poem

I'm just like an old rooster
that hollered way out here on a hill
I'm just like an old rooster
that hollered way out here on a hill
People, now I'm done scratching
ooo lord, Big Bill is just trying to live

I'm just like Job's turkey
I can't do nothing but bobble
I'm so poor, baby
I have to lean up against the fence to gargle
Yeah, now baby
well I believe I'll change towns
Yeah, I'm down so low baby
ooo lord, yeah, I declare I'm looking up to down

The men in the mine, baby
they all looking down on me
Yeah, and I'm down so low baby
I'm low as I can be
Yeah, now baby
now I'm down as I can be
Yeah, I'm down so low baby
ooo lord, everybody's looking down on poor me

Everything I get ahold to baby
it goes away like snow in June
If I get a chance now baby again
I'm going up to the moon
Yeah, now baby
yeah, and I believe I'll change towns
Yeah, poor me's down so low, baby
ooo lord gal, Big Bill is looking up to down
