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
