about

Originally a Leadbelly tune, we picked this up from listening to Tii McLane at the Champlain Valley Festival in Vermont, summer of 2008.

lyrics

Poor Howard

Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard was a poor boy
Left me here to shout with joy

Who’s been here since I’ve been gone
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Who’s been here since I’ve been gone
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Who’s been here since I’ve been gone
Great big man with a derby on
Who’s been here since I’ve been gone
Great big man with a derby on

Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard was a poor boy
Left me here to shout with joy
