《How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?》歌词

[00:00:00] How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? - New Lost City Ramblers
[00:00:06] There once was a time when everything was cheap
[00:00:10] But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep
[00:00:15] When we pay our grocery bill
[00:00:18] We just feel like makin' our will
[00:00:20] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:00:26] I remember when dry goods were cheap as dirt
[00:00:31] We could take two bits and buy a dandy shirt
[00:00:36] Now we pay three bucks or more
[00:00:38] Maybe get a shirt that another man wore
[00:00:41] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:00:46] Well I used to trade with a man by the name of gray
[00:00:51] Flour was fifty cents for a twenty four pound bag
[00:00:56] Now it's a dollar and a half beside
[00:00:59] Just like a skinnin' off a flea for the hide
[00:01:01] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:01:26] Oh the schools we have today ain't worth a cent
[00:01:31] But they see to it that every child is sent
[00:01:36] If we don't send everyday
[00:01:38] We have a heavy fine to pay
[00:01:41] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:01:46] Prohibition's good if 'tis conducted right
[00:01:51] There's no sense in shootin' a man 'til he shows flight
[00:01:56] Officers kill without a cause
[00:01:58] Then complain about funny laws
[00:02:01] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:02:06] Most all preachers preach for gold and not for souls
[00:02:11] That's what keeps a poor man always in a hole
[00:02:16] We can hardly get our breath
[00:02:18] Taxed and schooled and preached to death
[00:02:21] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:02:46] Oh it's time for every man to be awake
[00:02:50] We pay fifty cents a pound when we ask for steak
[00:02:55] When we get our package home
[00:02:58] A little wad of paper with gristle and a bone
[00:03:00] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:03:05] Well the doctor comes around with a face all bright
[00:03:10] And he says in a little while you'll be all right
[00:03:15] All he gives is a humbug pill
[00:03:17] A dose of d**e and a great big bill
[00:03:20] Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
