[00:00:03] Composer：Bill Anderson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:30] And even
