Rich man, rich man got all the good land
|
Ain't nothin' left but bad land for the poor man
|
Rich man's money, rich man's school
|
Did they make the poor man, rich man's fool
|
|
Rich man, rich man never have dirty hands
|
Never hold a plow that's turnin' his land
|
Poor man holds it day by day
|
Did they make the poor man, rich man's slave
|
|
I work the field come rain or shine
|
What else can I do
|
I have nothing nor has mine
|
Are we rich man's fools
|
|
Poor man, poor man always be a poor man
|
Sit at the end of day then I'm a tired man
|
Rich man's money, rich man's school
|
Did they make the poor man, rich man's fool
|
|
Rich man worried 'bout all the money spent
|
Worried 'bout taxes, he owes the government
|
Then on payday poor man shines
|
They can't tax just one thin dime
|
|
God loves both of us rich and poor alike
|
Loves us both the same, equal within his sight
|
Has no favourites, this I know
|
For the good book tells me so
|
|
Wealth can't buy a home on high
|
Not all the worldly gold
|
Faith, on bended knees, can buy
|
A home in saviour's soul
|
|
Rich and poor the same, no good without the flame
|
I mean the flame of love, sent down from God above
|
If our Faith in Him we lose
|
Rich or poor, we're both a fool
|
