    Story Behind the Song
    In memory of my Dad... based on one of his favorite sayings-- There's a tradition in the blues of dealing with being broke and busted with a sense of humor. Might as well get used to it... SG

    Lyrics
    Poor House Blues

    The girl got forty dresses and
    Fifty pair of shoes
    My girl got forty dresses and
    Fifty pair of shoes
    She done spent all my money
    And half my paycheck too

    All my friends they say
    I got the finest gal in town
    Yeah all my friends they tell me
    Got the finest gal in town
    I got the finest gal and
    The poorest mouth around

    Hear me poor mouth now...

    I'm going down to the poor house and
    Lay down on the ground
    I'm going down to the poor house and
    Drink my royal crown
    Come on down to the poorhouse
    That's where I'm going down

    The girl got forty dresses and
    Fifty pair of shoes
    My girl got forty dresses and
    Fifty pair of shoes
    She done spent all my money
    And half my paycheck too

    I got the poor house blues...
