Po Boy lyrics

Man came to the door, I say for whom were you lookin ?
Says your wife , I say she s busy in the kitchen cookin
Po boy, where you been?
Already told you, won t tell you again

I say how much you want for that, I ll go into the store
Man says three dollars all right , I say, will you take four?
Po boy, never say die
Things will be all right, by and by

Workin like in a main line, workin like the devil
The game is the same it s just up on another level
Po boy, dressed in black
Police at your back

Po boy in a red hot town
Out beyond the twinklin stars
Ridin first class train
Makin the rounds
Try to keep from fallin between the cars

Othello told Desdemona "I m cold, cover me with a blanket"
"By the way, what happened to that poisoned wine?"
She said "I gave it to you, you drank it"
Po boy, layin em straight
Pickin up the cherries fallin off the plate

Time and love has branded me with its claws
Had to go to Florida, dodgin them Georgia laws
Po boy in the hotel called the Palace of Bloom
Called down to room service, said send up a room

My mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer
My father was a traveling salesman, I never met him
When my mother died my uncle took me in to run a funeral parlor
He did a lot of nice things for me and I won t forget him

All I know is that I m thrilled by your kiss
I don t know any more than this
Po boy, pickin up sticks
Build you a house out of mortar and bricks

Knockin on the door, I say who is it, where you from?
Man say Freddie , I say Freddie who?
He say Freddie or not, here I come
Po boy neath the stars that shine
Washin them dishes, feedin them swine
