[00:00:00] How Can A Poor Man Stands Such Times And Live - Ry Cooder

[00:00:07] Well the doctor comes around

[00:00:10] With his face all bright

[00:00:15] And he says "In a little

[00:00:18] While you'll be all right"

[00:00:23] All he gives is a humbug pill

[00:00:27] Dose of dope and a great big bill

[00:00:31] Tell me

[00:00:32] How can a poor man stand

[00:00:34] Such times and live

[00:00:39] Well there once was a time

[00:00:41] When every thing was cheap

[00:00:47] But now prices nearly

[00:00:49] Puts a man to sleep

[00:00:55] When we get our grocery bill

[00:00:59] We just feel like making our will

[00:01:02] Tell me

[00:01:03] How can a poor man stand

[00:01:06] Such times and live

[00:01:41] Prohibitions good if it's conducted right

[00:01:49] There's no sense in shooting a man

[00:01:52] 'Til he shows flight

[00:01:57] Officers kill without a cause then

[00:02:01] They complain about the funny laws

[00:02:04] Tell me how can a poor man

[00:02:07] Stand such times and live
