Poor Man's Blues
 

Mr rich man rich man : open up you heart and mind
Give a poor man a chance : help stop these hard hard times

While you living in your mansion : you don't know what hard times means
A workingman's wife is starving : your wife is living like a queen

Please listen to my pleading : because I can't stand these hard times long
They'll make an honest man : do things that you know is wrong

Poor man fought all the battles : poor man would fight again today
He would do anything you ask him : in the name of the U S A

Now the war is over : poor man must live the same as you
If it wasn't for the poor man : Mr rich man what would you do
