Po' Folks
writtena and recorded by Bill Anderson

G G D7 D7 G G
There's a whole lot of people looking down their noses at me
D7 D7 G G
Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family
C C G G
There were ten of us living in a two room shack
D7 D7 G G
On the banks of the river by the railroad tracks
C C G G
We kept chickens in a pen in the back
D7 D7
And everybody said we were Po' Folks

G G D7 D7 G G
My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us
D7 D7 G G
He dug a forty-foot well struck thirty six gallons of dust
C C G G
The Salvation Army gave us clothes to wear
D7 D7 G G
A A man from the county came to cut our hair
C C G G
We lived next door to a millionaire
D7 D7 G G
But we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks

C C G G
We was Po' Folks living in a rich folks world
D7 D7 G G
We sure was a hungry bunch
C C G G
If the wolf had ever come to our front door
A7 A7 D7 D7
He'd a had to brought a picnic lunch

G G D7 D7 G G
My granddaddy's pension was a dollar and thirty-three cents
D7 D7 G G
That was ten dollars less than the landlord wanted for rent
C C G G
The landlord's letters got nasty indeed
D7 D7 G G
He wrote get out but Pa couldn't read
C C G G
And we were too broke to even pay heed
D7 D7 G G
But that's how it is when you're Po' Folks

repeat #3
G G D7 D7 G G
But we had something in our house money can't buy
D7 D7 G G
Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was high
C C G G
For whenever we didn't have food enough
D7 D7 G G
And the howling winds would get pretty rough
C C G G
We patched the cracks and set the table with love
D7 D7 G G
Cause that's what you do when you're Po' Folks

D7 D7 G G
And we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks
D7 D7 G G
My mom and my dad was Po' Folks
D7 D7 G G
My brother and my sister was Po' Folks
D7 D7 G G
My dog and my cat was Po' Folks
D7 D7 G G
And even the Po' Folks was Po' Folks
