I've traveled for miles around It seems like everybody wanna put me down Because I'm a blues man But I'm a good man, understand
I went down to the bus station Looked up on the wall My money was too light, people Couldn't go nowhere at all I'm a blues man But a good man, understand
The burdens that I carry are so heavy, you see It seems like it ain't nobody in this great big world That would wanna help old b. But I will be all right, people Just give me a break Good things come to those who wait And I've waited a long time I'm a blues man but a good man, understand
