I left my mother, the best friend I had
For the man that took me
That's why I'm all-in bad
Nobody gives me sympathy
That's the reason why I cry "poor me"

Sittin' all alone, I can see a thousand miles away
Sittin' all alone, I can see a thousand miles away
I can see the man that made me what I am today

He has made me weep, he has made me moan and groan
He has made me weep, he has made me moan and groan
Took me from my home, and left me all alone

I left my mother, standing in the door
I left my mother, standing in the door
With her hand on my waist, and her fist held to the floor

All my clothes is torn, so the cold will lash my skin
All my clothes is torn, so the cold will lash my skin
And my heart's so broke, that I got them poor me blues
