Po' Folks

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world we sure was a hungry bunch And if the wolf would ever come to our front door he'd had to brought a picnic lunch But we had something in our house money can't buy Kept us warm in the winter and cool when the sun's high For whenever we didn't have food enough and the howling winds would get pretty rough We patched the cracks and set the table with love Cause that's how it is when you're po' folks and we wadn't nothin' but po' folks My mama and my papa was po' folks my sister and my brother was po' folks My dog and my cat was po' folks and that's how it is when you're po' folks
