I'm just like an old rooster, out way out here on a hill
I'm just like an old rooster, out way out here on a hill
People I'm done scratchin', ooh Lord Big Bill is just tryin' to live
I'm just like Joe's turkey, I can't do nothing but bauble(?)
I'm so poor baby, I have to lean up against the fence to garble(?)
Yeah, now baby, gal, I believe I change town
Yeah I'm down so low baby, ooh Lord girl,
I declare I'm lookin' up at down
The men in the mine baby, they all lookin' down at me
Gal I'm down so low baby, I'm low as I can be
Yeah, now baby
Girl I'm down as I can be
Gal I'm down so low baby
Oh Lord, everybody's lookin' down on poor me
Everything I get a hold of baby, it goes away like snow in June
If I get a chance now baby again, I'm goin' up to the moon
Yeah, now baby
Yeah, I believe I change town
Yeah, poor me down so low baby,
Big Bill is lookin' up at down
