I'm just like an old rooster, out way out here on a hill

I'm just like an old rooster, out way out here on a hill

People I'm done scratchin', ooh Lord Big Bill is just tryin' to live



I'm just like Joe's turkey, I can't do nothing but bauble(?)

I'm so poor baby, I have to lean up against the fence to garble(?)

Yeah now baby, gal, I believe I change town

Yeah I'm down so low baby, ooh Lord girl

I declare I'm lookin' up at down



The men in the mine baby

They all lookin' down at me

Gal I'm down so low baby

I'm low as I can be

Yeah now baby

Girl I'm down as I can be

Gal I'm down so low baby

Ooh Lord everybody's lookin' down on poor me



Everything I get a hold of baby

It goes away like snow in June

If I get a chance now baby again

I'm goin' up to the moon

Yeah now baby

Yeah I believe I change town

Yeah poor me down so low baby

Big Bill is lookin' up at down
