Poor Man

Hush up, honey, don’t you cry Things are gonna get better in the by-and-by And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world Work through the winter, work through the spring Yeah plant my corn and taters and then it wouldn't rain And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world Now I got down on my knees Lord I thought I’d pray Along come a great big flood Washed everything away And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world Work through the winter, Lord, work through this fall All I got for Christmas was a pair of overalls And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world Well I got down on my knees Looked up to the sky All I can think of is to ask the good Lord why And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world Well hush up, honey, Lord don’t get down You know that I love you every way around And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world And there ain’t a thing for a poor man In this world --- Poor Man - Old Crow Medicine Show
