PO' CHILD

Jes' because I'm a po' child, don't drive me away,
Jes' because I'm a po' child, standin' at your door,
Jes' because I'm a po' child, standin' at your door,
Lord, I'm a po' child, don't drive me away.

Jes' because I'm motherless, don't drive me away,
Jes' because I'm motherless, don't drive me away,
Jes' because I'm motherless, standin' at your door,
Lord, I'm motherless, don't drive me away.

Jes' because I'm hungry, don't drive me away, etc.

Jes' because I'm 'umble, don't drive me away, etc.

Jes' because I'm a beggar, don't drive me away, etc.

Sung by Dock Reed, Livingston, AL. John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States recording Trip.
