The Rich Man And The Poor Man - Brownie McGhee[00:00:00]

There's just two kinds of people [00:00:05]

The sinner and the saint;[00:00:08]

There's one that gets and always got[00:00:11]

While the other poor one ain't [00:00:14]

Oh the rich man drives his Lincoln[00:00:16]

Past the red light with a grin [00:00:19]

And the poor man follows right behind[00:00:22]

In his little hunk of tin [00:00:25]

There's a motorcycle copper[00:00:27]

Following upon their trail;[00:00:30]

Oh the rich man tears his ticket [00:00:32]

But the poor man goes to jail [00:00:35]

Oh the rich man takes the high road[00:00:42]

Anywhere that he may go [00:00:46]

But when the poor man's travelin'[00:00:48]

He must always take the low [00:00:51]

So if you're rich you'll travel[00:00:54]

Snug as peas are in the pod;[00:00:56]

Oh the rich man rides a cushion[00:00:59]

And the poor man rides the rods [00:01:02]

Oh the rich man when he's ailing[00:01:09]

Stays at home and calls the doc [00:01:12]

But the poor man has to go to work [00:01:15]

Be in time to punch a clock [00:01:18]

The rich man takes his medicine [00:01:21]

Has his doctors and his nurse;[00:01:23]

So the rich man he gets better[00:01:25]

But the poor man he gets worse [00:01:29]

Oh the rich man steals a million[00:01:36]

From the bank that he controls [00:01:39]

While the poor man steals a loaf of bread[00:01:42]

Or a penny's worth of rolls [00:01:45]

They take them to the courthouse [00:01:48]

One is laughing one's in tears;[00:01:50]

Oh the rich man gets an apology[00:01:53]

While the poor man gets ten years [00:01:56]

Oh the rich man gets a lawyer[00:02:03]

And the lawyer pleads his case [00:02:07]

While the poor man asks for sympathy[00:02:09]

But of that there is now trace [00:02:12]

So if you're rich don't worry[00:02:15]

But the poor must give up hope;[00:02:17]

Oh the rich man gets acquitted[00:02:19]

While the poor man gets the rope [00:02:23]

Oh the rich man when he kicks off[00:02:30]

Has a casket made of gold [00:02:33]

While the poor man has a wooden box[00:02:36]

And his grave looks mighty cold [00:02:39]

The rich man gets a sermon[00:02:41]

But here's one thing that's sure [00:02:44]

When the rich man takes that last long ride[00:02:47]

He's as much dead as the poor[00:02:50]
