On 3 string cigar box guitar and Iowa Saxophone.Poor Man(Capo 2 to A)[G] Hush up,darlin', don’t you cry[C] Things will get better in the by-and-[D] by.And there ain’t a[D]thing for a poor manin this [G] world. (Tag ~ after each verse)I worked all winter. I worked all spring.Planted corn and taters and then it wouldn't rainI got down on my knees and prayed.Along came a big flood. Washed everything away.I worked all the summmer, I worked through this fallAll I got for Christmas was a pair of overalls.Hush up, honey, don’t get down.You know that I love you every way around.....

    Wonderfully atmospheric.  It all just casually drifts along together nicely!

    Thanks, RTZ.  And you're welcome on your Townes video, excellent.  I hope to hear you soon.

    Thanks a lot, Richard.  I kind of know that I do better when I keep it simple, but way too often try to get 'fancier' and do not do as well.

    Put my mind at ease this early morning. Less and simple, one of the hardest things to pull off, unless your talented Uncle. Youmake it look easy and sound incredible! Traditionally vintage flood proof UJ!

    Love the way the weepy harp just fits right in there with the solemn song.

  • Uncle John August 17, 2019 at 7:28am

    Thanks, Dave.  Thanks Danny.  Harps are expensive and that sounds like a good buy.
