Poor Sad Baby

Joni Mitchell

    Continues after the ad

    Goodbye I'm bound away
    On the morning plane
    I'll fly around the world
    Then I'll fly around again

    And when I've been from Egypt
    To the snows of Nome
    Poor sad baby, that's when
    I'll be coming home

    Rose gardens in the rain
    And castles in the snow
    Post cards from distant places
    Are poor company I know

    Continues after the ad

    But when old gay Paree
    Is just another town
    Poor sad baby
    I'll come home and settle down

    When I've felt the friendship
    Of a thousand hands
    When I'm drunk with the musicv From a thousand bands
    A thousand bands

    I'll dance the streets by moonlight
    And the fields by day
    Perchance my jeans won't jingle
    But the mem'ry coins will stay

    I'll be a pauper queen
    A poorhouse millionaire
    Poor sad baby
    I'll bring you home a dream to share
