Swigs of mountain dew was his release
I know his only fear was country vulgar cold and clear
Throughout the day he'd booze and keep the peace
He knows the best way to success
Is a proud fierce woman and a jar of whiskey
Well I'd stake my claim but my mule got lame
How lucky can a poor boy be
Don't you know that some bum
Don't ask me how he gets in this fix
But I'd sure like to play some licksy game
'Cause I earn my pay and park it all on me
There's my brown dog barking
There's my landlord humming
Soh! Yerr! Someway whatever you name
How lucky can a poor boy be
Soh! Yer! Someway whatever you name
How lucky can a poor boy be
