Booker White - Poor Boy Long Way From Home
Poor Boy Blues or Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home is a traditional blues song of unknown origin. As with most traditional blues songs, there is great variation in the melody and lyrical content as performed by different artists. However, there is often a core verse containing some variation of the line “I’m a poor boy a long way from home.” The song is often associated with a slide guitar accompaniment.
The song is often cited as one of the oldest in the blues genre. (via Wikipedia)
