Tinker a Rich Man--A Poor Man
TINKER A RICH MAN--A POOR MAN
how you a rich man
and you got a mortgage due
shouldn’t you be through
what you want to give
and why is it’s hard to live
shouldn’t you be true
I am a poor man
and I can hardly stand here
make it on my own
you’re torn and bitter
sworn to deliver nothing
must you pay taxes
difference tween a rich
man and a poor man is this
poor pay more taxes
and if the rich don’t
be very careful it’s hard
getting in heaven
a rich man a poor
man whose more likely to give
a hand downtrodden
