《The Rich Man & The Poor Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rich Man & The Poor Man - Tom Glazer

[00:00:05] There's just two kinds of people

[00:00:08] The sinner and the saint;

[00:00:11] There's one that gets and always got

[00:00:14] While the other poor one ain't

[00:00:16] Oh the rich man drives his Lincoln

[00:00:19] Past the red light with a grin

[00:00:22] And the poor man follows right behind

[00:00:25] In his little hunk of tin

[00:00:27] There's a motorcycle copper

[00:00:30] Following upon their trail;

[00:00:32] Oh the rich man tears his ticket

[00:00:35] But the poor man goes to jail

[00:00:43] Oh the rich man takes the high road

[00:00:46] Anywhere that he may go

[00:00:48] But when the poor man's travelin'

[00:00:51] He must always take the low

[00:00:54] So if you're rich you'll travel

[00:00:56] Snug as peas are in the pod;

[00:00:59] Oh the rich man rides a cushion

[00:01:02] And the poor man rides the rods

[00:01:09] Oh the rich man when he's ailing

[00:01:13] Stays at home and calls the doc

[00:01:15] But the poor man has to go to work

[00:01:18] Be in time to punch a clock

[00:01:21] The rich man takes his medicine

[00:01:23] Has his doctors and his nurse;

[00:01:26] So the rich man he gets better

[00:01:29] But the poor man he gets worse

[00:01:36] Oh the rich man steals a million

[00:01:39] From the bank that he controls

[00:01:42] While the poor man steals a loaf of bread

[00:01:45] Or a penny's worth of rolls

[00:01:48] They take them to the courthouse

[00:01:50] One is laughing one's in tears;

[00:01:53] Oh the rich man gets an apology

[00:01:56] While the poor man gets ten years

[00:02:03] Oh the rich man gets a lawyer

[00:02:07] And the lawyer pleads his case

[00:02:09] While the poor man asks for sympathy

[00:02:12] But of that there is now trace

[00:02:15] So if you're rich don't worry

[00:02:17] But the poor must give up hope;

[00:02:19] Oh the rich man gets acquitted

[00:02:23] While the poor man gets the rope

[00:02:30] Oh the rich man when he kicks off

[00:02:33] Has a casket made of gold

[00:02:36] While the poor man has a wooden box

[00:02:39] And his grave looks mighty cold

[00:02:41] The rich man gets a sermon

[00:02:44] But here's one thing that's sure

[00:02:47] When the rich man takes that last long ride

[00:02:50] He's as much dead as the poor
