Poor Man

Well a poor man worked He worked and slaved A poor man work most all of his days Work and him go hand in hand Work is the lot of a poor man Well it seem like a poor man He don't he don't he don't get more Than just enough To keep the wolf from his door Swing that hammer And drive that steel I've got to make the money For another meal Lift that tire from the burnin' sand Work is the lot of a poor man Well a poor man work He worked and slaved A poor man go to an early grave A boss man he don't give a hand Snap that lock on your ball and chain. Well it seem like a poor man He don't he don't he don't get more Than just enough To keep the wolf from his door Some people got money And some got none Some folks seem to have A whole of fun Maybe someday I'll understand Bless my soul I'm a mighty poor man When it seem like a poor man He don't he don't he don't get more Than just enough To keep the wolf from his door Well stay home honey Don't you cry Daddy's gonna be there by and by He got to make a dollar w While he can Shut my mouth He's a mighty poor man
