The Black Sorrows - Poor Boy Blues lyrics

Someone take this poor boy home Rest his weary head Ten long years this world I roamed Now put my bones to bed I have seen a blood red moon In skies as black as coal I have heard a ghostly tune Mortify my soul Someone lead this poor boy back Help him find that road Take him to some railroad track Ease his heavy load I have felt the cruelest wind Tear across the plain Forgive me mother I have sinned Slept out in the rain Someone share this poor boy’s heart Before it turns to stone Love has been the hardest part Can’t make it on my own I have seen a blood red moon In skies as black as coal Heard a ghostly tune Mortify my soul (J.
