Poverty Hill - The Brothers Four[00:00:00]

They come in their summery dresses[00:00:06]

And jackets so fine [00:00:09]

The rich folks who measure success[00:00:13]

With a big dollar sign [00:00:15]

They gaze with delight with the rocks and the scraggly pines [00:00:20]

The come in the Spring and they stay 'til the Fall[00:00:26]

On paradise Mountain away from it all [00:00:30]

Stubble and stone[00:00:36]

Make a hard row to how [00:00:39]

What little will grow [00:00:42]

The drought will kill [00:00:46]

The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain[00:00:50]

But we call it poverty hill [00:00:57]

They say we have beautiful faces as grainy as wood [00:01:04]

They'd like to live here of all places if only they could[00:01:10]

We don't get those wood [00:01:17]

Grainy faces from livin' too good [00:01:19]

It's the rocks and the dust and the sun and the heat [00:01:24]

It's too much of work and too little to eat [00:01:27]

Stubble and stone[00:01:33]

Make a hard row to how [00:01:37]

What little will grow [00:01:40]

The drought will kill [00:01:44]

The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain[00:01:48]

But we call it poverty hill [00:01:54]

They pack and say what a pity that they have to go [00:02:01]

Have to go [00:02:05]

They say that Old Smokey's so pretty all covered with snow [00:02:08]

Covered with snow [00:02:12]

But how we get through the winter they never will know [00:02:15]

No lard for the pantry [00:02:21]

No grist for the meal[00:02:23]

And winter's are cold over poverty Hill[00:02:25]

Stubble and stone[00:02:31]

Stubble and stone[00:02:33]

Make a hard row to how [00:02:34]

What little will grow [00:02:38]

The drought will kill [00:02:41]

The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain[00:02:45]

But we call it poverty hill [00:02:52]

We call it poverty hill [00:02:59]

Poverty hill[00:03:03]
