Poor Man's Blues |
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man |
Open up your heart and mind |
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man |
Open up your heart and mind |
Give the poor man a chance |
Help stop these hard, hard time |
While you livin' in your mansion |
You don’t know what hard time means |
While you livin' in your mansion |
You don’t know what hard time means |
Oh, workin' man’s wife is starvin' |
Your wife is livin' like a queen |
Please, listen to my pleadin' |
'Cause I can’t stand these hard time long |
Oh, listen to my pleadin' |
Can’t stand these hard time long |
They’ll make an honest man do things |
That you know is wrong |
All man fought all the battles |
All man would fight again today |
All man fought all the battles |
All man would fight again today |
He would do anything you ask him |
In the name of the U.S.A |
Now the war is over |
All man must live the same as you |
Now the war is over |
All man must live the same as you |
If it wasn’t for the poor man |
Mister Rich Man what would you do? |
