Po' Folks - Connie Smith (康妮·史密斯)[00:00:00]

Lyricist：Bill Anderson[00:00:01]

Composer：Bill Anderson[00:00:03]

There's a whole lotta people lookin' down their noses at me[00:00:05]

'Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family[00:00:11]

There was ten of us livin' in a two room shack[00:00:16]

On the banks of the river by the railroad track[00:00:19]

We kept chickens in a pen in the back[00:00:22]

Everybody said we was po' folks[00:00:25]

My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us[00:00:29]

He dug a forty foot well struck thirty six gallons of dust[00:00:35]

Salvation army give us clothes to wear[00:00:41]

A man from the county came to cut our hair[00:00:44]

We lived next door to a millionare[00:00:47]

But we wadn't nothin' but po' folks[00:00:50]

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world[00:00:54]

We sure was a hungry bunch[00:00:57]

If the wolf had ever come to our front door[00:00:59]

He'd've had to brought a picnic lunch[00:01:02]

My grandaddy's pension was a dollar and thirty three cents[00:01:05]

That was ten dollar less than the landlord wanted for rent[00:01:11]

The landlord's letters got nasty indeed[00:01:17]

He wrote get out but pa couldn't read[00:01:20]

And we was too broke to even pay heed[00:01:22]

But that's how it is when you're po' folks[00:01:25]

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world[00:01:41]

We sure was a hungry bunch[00:01:44]

If the wolf had ever come to our front door[00:01:46]

He'd've had to brought a picnic lunch[00:01:49]

But we had something in our house money can't buy[00:01:53]

Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was high[00:01:58]

For whenever we didn't have food enough[00:02:04]

And the howlin' winds would get pretty rough[00:02:07]

We patched the cracks and set the table with love[00:02:10]

'Cause that's what you do when you're po' folks[00:02:15]

And we wadn't nothin' but po' folks[00:02:18]

My mom and my dad was po' folks[00:02:21]

My brother and my sister was po' folks[00:02:24]

My dog and my cat was po' folks[00:02:27]

And even[00:02:30]
