Well a poor man worked
He worked and slaved
A poor man work most all of his days
Work and him go hand in hand
Work is the lot of a poor man
Well it seem like a poor man
He don't he don't he don't get more
Than just enough
To keep the wolf from his door
Swing that hammer
And drive that steel
I've got to make the money
For another meal
Lift that tire from the burnin' sand
Work is the lot of a poor man
Well a poor man work
He worked and slaved
A poor man go to an early grave
A boss man he don't give a hand
Snap that lock on your ball and chain
Well it seem like a poor man
He don't he don't he don't get more
Than just enough
To keep the wolf from his door
Some people got money
And some got none
Some folks seem to have
A whole of fun
Maybe someday I'll understand
Bless my soul I'm a mighty poor man
When it seem like a poor man
He don't he don't he don't get more
Than just enough
To keep the wolf from his door
Well stay home honey
Don't you cry
Daddy's gonna be there by and by
He got to make a dollar w
While he can
Shut my mouth
He's a mighty poor man
