Poor Man's Son |
| I was a boy |
| I was a good little boy |
| Wantin' in the playground fun |
| They said na na nay |
| Boy you can’t play |
| 'Cause you were born a poor man’s son |
| I met a girl |
| She was a pretty little girl |
| Would you be my only one |
| She said meet me where nobody can see |
| 'Cause you were born a poor man’s son |
| I spend all my lifetime thinkin' what I coulda done |
| Then I work my fingers to the bone |
| I met a man |
| He was a business man |
| Said I’m a hard workin' son of a gun |
| He said you know the rules you shoulda stayed in school |
| But you were born a poor man’s son |
| I spend all my lifetime thinkin' what I coulda done |
| Then I work my fingers to the bone |
| I met a guy |
| He was a crazy guy |
| He said I’m gonna get me some |
| Let’s go across the tracks where they keep the jack |
| All we need is a little black gun |
| They got the hounds and they tracked us down |
| They said we know what you have done |
| You’re gonna do the time it’s gonna fit the crime |
| You shoulda shot a poor man’s son |
| You shoulda shot a poor man’s son |
| You shoulda shot a poor man’s son |
