Poor Boy Blues
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 was down in Louisiana : doing as I please
Now I'm in Texas : I got to work or leave
If your home in Louisiana : what you doing over here
Said my home ain't in Texas : and I sure don't care
I don't care : if the boat don't never land
I'd like to stay on the water : as long as any man
And my boat come a‑rocking : just like a drunken man
And my home's on the water : and I sure don't like land
