Poor old man came from Mississippi
Nothin
Playin
Workin
Well he could sing those coffee house blues
Mississippi John made it look so easy
Cigarette behind his ear
His eye are lookin
Really let go when the bottle
Singing it loud, his voice is kinda gritty
He knows he
He spends his time playin
Won
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Won
Everybody said he
And he knew in his heart
That he better start believing
Better use the talent
That the good lord gave him
To get out of this place
He don
He
He spends his time playin
Won
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Won
Look downtown see the man on the corner
Working so hard just get a dollar
People walk my want to call him a beggar
Don
He's just taking what they offer
Well he
Well he spends his time playin
Won
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Won
