People I've traveled from town to town
Seems like everybody want to put me down
Because I'm a bluesman
But I'm a good man, understand

I went down to the bus station
I looked upon the wall
My money was to light people
Couldn't go no where at all
See I'm a bluesman
But a good man, understand

The burden that I carry, oh it's so heavy
It seems, seems like ain't nobody in this great big world
That would want to help old B.
Hey, but I'll, I would be all right people
Just give me a break, good things come
To those who wait, I've been around 81 years ya'll
I'm a bluesman
But I'm a good man, understand

burden that I carry, oh it's so heavy
It seems, seems like ain't nobody in this great big world
That would want to help old B.
But I'll, I would be all right people
Just give me a break, good things come
To those who wait, I've been waiting a long time
I'm a bluesman folks
But I'm a good man, understand
