POOR BUT HONEST

Oh she was poor but she was honest
The victim of a rich mans whim
When she met that southern gentleman Big Jim Folsom
And she had a child by him

Now he sits in the Legistlature
Making laws for all mankind
While she walks the streets of Dotham Alabama
Selling chunks of her behind

It's the rich what gets the glory
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the same the whole world over - over over
Now ain't that a God Damn shame.
