《Po’ Folks》歌词

[00:00:01] Po' Folks - Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森)

[00:00:07] There's a whole lotta people

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

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

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

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

[00:00:24] By the railroad track

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:44] The Salvation Army give us clothes to wear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:16] And thirty three cents

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

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

[00:01:23] The landlord's letters got nasty indeed

[00:01:29] He wrote 'Get out' but Pa couldn't read

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

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

[00:01:48] We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks' world

[00:01:52] We sure was a hungry bunch

[00:01:55] If the wolf had ever come to our front door

[00:01:58] He'd have had brought a picnic lunch

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

[00:02:07] Kept us warm in the winter

[00:02:10] Cool when the sun was high

[00:02:14] For whenever we didn't have food enough

[00:02:17] And the howlin' winds would get pretty rough

[00:02:21] We patched the cracks and set the table with love

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

[00:02:28] When you're po' folks

[00:02:30] And we wasn't nothin' but po' folks

[00:02:33] My mom and my dad was po' folks

[00:02:36] My brother and my sister was po' folks

[00:02:39] My dog and my cat was po' folks
