Po' Folks - Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森)/Earl Scruggs[00:00:00]

Written by：Bill Anderson[00:00:03]

There's a whole lotta people[00:00:06]

Lookin' down their noses at me[00:00:08]

'Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family[00:00:13]

There was ten of us livin' in a two room shack[00:00:19]

On the banks of the river[00:00:22]

By the railroad track[00:00:24]

We kept chickens in a pen in the back[00:00:26]

And everybody said we was po' folks[00:00:29]

My daddy was a farmer[00:00:34]

But all he ever raised was us[00:00:35]

Dug a forty foot well[00:00:40]

Struck thirty six gallons of dust[00:00:42]

The Salvation Army give us clothes to wear[00:00:47]

A man from the County came to cut our hair[00:00:50]

We lived next door to a millionaire[00:00:53]

But we wasn't nothin' cept po'folks[00:00:56]

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks' world[00:01:01]

We sure was a hungry bunch[00:01:04]

If the wolf had ever come to our front door[00:01:07]

He'd have had brought a picnic lunch[00:01:11]

My granddaddy's pension was a dollar[00:01:14]

And thirty three cents[00:01:16]

That was ten dollar less than[00:01:20]

The landlord wanted for rent[00:01:22]

The landlord's letters got nasty indeed[00:01:27]

He wrote Get out but Pa couldn't read[00:01:30]

And we was too broke to even pay heed[00:01:33]

But that's how it is when you're po' folks[00:01:36]

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks' world[00:01:47]

We sure was a hungry bunch[00:01:51]

If the wolf had ever come to our front door[00:01:53]

He'd have had brought a picnic lunch[00:01:57]

But we had something in our house money can't buy[00:02:00]

Kept us warm in the winter[00:02:06]

Cool when the sun was high[00:02:08]

For whenever we didn't have food enough[00:02:13]

And the howlin' winds would get pretty rough[00:02:16]

We patched the cracks and set the table with love[00:02:20]

'Cause that's what you do[00:02:25]

When you're po' folks[00:02:27]

And we wasn't nothin' but po' folks[00:02:29]

My mom and my dad was po' folks[00:02:32]

My brother and my sister was po' folks[00:02:35]

My dog and my cat was po' fol[00:02:38]
