I've traveled for miles around

It seems like everybody wanna put me down

Because I'm a blues man

But I'm a good man, understand



I went down to the bus station

Looked up on the wall

My money was too light, people

Couldn't go nowhere at all

I'm a blues man

But a good man, understand



The burdens that I carry are so heavy, you see

It seems like it ain't nobody in this great big world

That would wanna help old B.

But I will be all right, people

Just give me a break

Good things come to those who wait

And I've waited a long time

I'm a blues man but a good man, understand
