Down And Out Man

Had a widow down in Boston

You know she really trusted me

Then I ran away to Cleveland

From a brand new bride to be

Held a preacher's plate in Memphis

On a dark cold Sunday night

By Tuesday was in Alabam'

Showin' people how to do it right

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

Tried to boogie in a honky tonk

But my old guitar was out of tune

Explain they didn't like my music

So they tried to throw me out the room

I was livin' in a funky world

They were livin' in three-four time

All my friends are into rock 'n' roll

Or they ain't no friends of mine

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

Down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

Down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am

I'm a down and out man

Guess you wonder why I am
