  • Po’ Folks
  • © '61 Champion Music
  • There's a whole lotta people lookin' down their noses at me
  • Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family
  • There was ten of us livin' in a two room shack
  • On the banks of the river by the railroad track
  • We kept chickens in a pen in the back and everybody said we was po' folks
  • My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us
  • Dug a forty foot well struck thirty-six gallons of dust
  • Salvation Army give us clothes to wear a man from the county came to cut our hair
  • We lived next door to a millionaire but we wasn’t nothin' but po' folks
  • We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world we sure was a hungry bunch
  • If the wolf had ever come to our front door he'd a have had to brought a picnic lunch
  • My grand daddy's pension was a dollar and thirty-three cents
  • That was ten dollar less than the landlord wanted for rent
  • The landlord's letters got nasty indeed he wrote get out but pa couldn't read
  • And we was too broke to even pay heed but that's how it is when you're po' folks
  • We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world we sure was a hungry bunch
  • If the wolf had ever come to our front door he'd a have had to brought a picnic lunch
  • But we had something in our house money can't buy
  • Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was high
  • For whenever we didn't have food enough and the howlin' winds would get pretty rough
  • We patched the cracks and set the table with love
  • Cause that's what you do when you're po' folks and we wasn’t nothin' but po' folks
  • My mom and my dad was po' folks my brother and my sister was po' folks
  • My dog and my cat was po' folks and even the po' folks was po' folks
