G                                     D7                  G
There's a whole lot of people looking down their noses at me
                           D7          G
Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family
           C                     G
There were ten of us living in a two room shack
       D7                        G
On the banks of the river by the railroad tracks
   C                  G
We kept chickens in a pen in the back
    D7
And everybody said we were Po' Folks
 
   G                      D7                     G
My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us
                                D7                    G
He dug a forty-foot well struck thirty six gallons of dust
    C                      G
The Salvation Army gave us clothes to wear
  D7                          G
A man from the county came to cut our hair
   C                    G
We lived next door to a millionaire
    D7                    G
But we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks
 
       C                     G
We was Po' Folks living in a rich folks world
   D7                G
We sure was a hungry bunch
       C                     G
If the wolf had ever come to our front door
A7                      D7
He'd a had to brought a picnic lunch
 
   G                          D7                      G
My granddaddy's pension was a dollar and thirty-three cents
                                   D7                  G
That was ten dollars less than the landlord wanted for rent
    C                      G
The landlord's letters got nasty indeed
   D7                  G
He wrote  get out  but Pa couldn't read
    C                    G
And we were too broke to even pay heed
    D7                           G
But that's how it is when you're Po' Folks

G                           D7                G
But we had something in our house money can't buy
                           D7                    G
Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was high
    C                            G
For whenever we didn't have food enough
        D7                  G
And the howling winds would get pretty rough
   C                              G
We patched the cracks and set the table with love
      D7                             G
Cause that's what you do when you're Po' Folks
 
    D7                    G
And we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks
   D7                 G
My mom and my dad was Po' Folks
   D7                        G
My brother and my sister was Po' Folks 
   D7                 G
My dog and my cat was Po' Folks
    D7                     G
And even the Po' Folks was Po' Folks
