Subject: Lyr Req: poor folk
I remember the 1st Verse only (& Chorus) There's a whole lot of people looking down their noses at me cos I didnt come from a wealthy family there were 10 of us living in a 2 room shack at the side of a river & a railroad track, we kept chickens in a shack at the back (?) and we werent nothing but poor folks.
Poor folks livin in a rich folks world, sure were a hungry bunch if the wolf had ever come to our fromt door he'd 've had to bring a pic-nic lunch.
Grandaddys pension was .... thats ... $ less than the landlord wanted for rent ....
