Undestand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've traveled from town to town
Seems like everybody wanna throw me down
'cause i'm a poor man
But i'm a good man, understand
I went down to the train station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, baby
Couldn't go nowhere at all
I'm a poor man
But i'm a good man, understand
The burden that i carry is so heavy, you see
It seems like there ain't nobody in this world
Who would wanna help poor me
Well, i would be all right, baby
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
'cause i've been a good man
But i'm a poor man, understand
