Poor Me - Charlie Patton

Yes on me, it’s poor me, you must take pity on poor me

I ain’t got nobody, take pity on poor me

You may go, you may stay

But she’ll come back some sweet day

By and by, sweet mama, by and by

Don’t the moon look pretty shinin' down through the tree?

Oh, I can see Bertha Lee

Lord, but she can’t see me

You may go, you may stay

But she’ll come back some sweet day

By and by, sweet mama

Baby won’t you, by and by

You may go, you may stay

But she’ll come back some sweet day

By and by, sweet mama, by and by

Yes on me, it’s poor me

You must have pity on poor me

I ain’t got nobody

Take pity on poor me

Don’t the moon look pretty shinin' down through the tree?

Oh, I can see Bertha Lee

But she can’t see me

You may go, you may stay

But she’ll come back some sweet day

By and by, sweet mama

Oh baby, won’t you, by and by
