Poverty - Bobby Bland[00:00:00]
Written by:Pearl Woods[00:00:01]
I'm up every morning with the sun[00:00:10]
I work all day 'til the evening comes[00:00:14]
Blisters and corns all in my hands[00:00:19]
Lord have mercy on a working man[00:00:23]
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty[00:00:27]
My pay goes down and my tax goes up[00:00:35]
I drink my tea from a broken cup[00:00:40]
Between my woman and Uncle Sam[00:00:44]
I can't figure out who's fool I am[00:00:48]
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty[00:00:53]
Oh Lord it's so hard[00:01:01]
Lord but it's fair[00:01:06]
Everybody talk nobody really care[00:01:10]
Lord I can't save a dime can't borrow one cent[00:01:17]
If I pay my bills I can't pay my rent[00:01:23]
The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying[00:01:27]
They won't let me join the welfare line[00:01:31]
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty[00:01:35]
There's a war on poverty[00:01:44]
Oh they say it's going around now[00:01:47]
All that means people yeah[00:01:52]
They're trying hard to keep you down[00:01:56]
Oh oh oh Lord poverty[00:02:00]
