Luyện nghe bài hát Po' Folks

There's a whole people
down their noses at me
'Cause I didn't come from a family
was ten of us livin' in a two room shack

On the banks of the river by the railroad
We chickens in a pen in the back
And everybody we was po' folks
My daddy was a farmer but all he raised was us

Dug a forty foot well, struck thirty six gallons of
The Salvation gave us clothes to wear
A man from the county to cut our hair
We lived next door to a
But we hadn't but po' folks

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks
We sure was a hungry
If the wolf had ever come to our front
had to brought a picnic lunch

My pension was
A and thirty three cents
That was ten less than
The wanted for rent

The landlord's letters got
Indeed, he wrote get out but pa couldn't
We too broke to even pay heed
But how it is when you're 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
He'd had to brought a picnic

But we had somethin' in our house money buy
Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was
For whenever we didn't have food
And the howling winds would get pretty

We the cracks and set the table with love
'Cause that's you do when you're po' folks
And we hadn't nothin' but po'
My mom and my was po' folks
My brother and my sister was po'
My dog and my cat was po'
