I've got damp on my walls and cobwebs in the hall got a rat in the kitchen where the cockroach crawl. I got holes in my shoes where my toes peep through I got a bad case of the poverty blues. I got a crack in my bathtub and bed bugs in my bed I got things crawlin through my hair that make me scratch my head Got piles of bills collected by my door the one's I should have paid a year or two or more. I try to get myself sorted but always seem to lose I got a bad case of the poverty blues. Geeetar Clyde I got trouble in my hovel and the place could do with a good clean I may not be Superman but I try the best I can I just find things so hard to do Guess I got a bad case of the poverty blues. Some people call me lazy but I sure ain't crazy I;m a man alone in the world what can I do I got a bad case of the poetry blues. Fiddle Hank I'd love to meet a girly who could cook and clean with lots of money so I could live my dreams one that would say I do so I no longer got to sing the poverty blues say I no longer got to sing the poverty blues uesssssssssssssss.
