I've traveled for miles around Seems like everybody wanna put me down Because I'm a bluesman But I'm a good man, understand I went down to the bus station Look upon the wall My money is to light people Couldn't go no where at all I'm a bluesman But I'm a good man, understand The burden that I carry, oh is so heavy
