Canton Spirituals - Mississippi Poor Boy Lyrics

Lord im just sitting here looking over my life, Lord.
Let me take inventory
Can i take it?
Can i take it?
Cause i know you
I know you I know you been good to me Lord.

I come from a poor family
We didnt have much
But the Lord's been good to me.
Repeat x 2
Let me tell yall something
I didnt have any money
A lot of my friends thought that was funny
But im so glad today that i can stand right here and say
That the Lord's been good to me.

We was raised in a shack yall
Sometimes clothes were thin that we put on our backs
Momma and daddy they done the beat they could
They always told me, "son always be good"
But out of all the things
I know that the Lord's been good to me.

You been good
You been good to me
Sho been good to me
(Keep repeating)
