PO'
(Bill Anderson)
'61 Champion

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