how can a poor man stand such times and live - ry cooder lyrics
(alfred reed)
(g) – (c) – (g7) – (d) – (d7) – (am)
(g) i remember a time when every (d) thing was (g) cheap
now prices nearly puts a man to (d) sleep
(d7) well, when we (g) get our grocery (g7) bill
we (c) feel like making our (am) will
tell me, (g) how can a poor man (d7) stand such times and
(g) live ?
tell me, (g) how can a poor man (d7) stand such times and
(g) live ?
well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
and he says, “in a little while you’ll be all right!”
well, all he gives is a humbug pill
dose of dope and a great big bill
tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
most preachers, well, they preach for gold and not for
soul
well, that’s what keeps us poor folks always in a hole
now, we can hardly get our breath
taxed and schooled and preached to death
tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
