[00:00:00] Poverty (Single Version (Stereo)) - Bobby Bland

[00:00:00] Written by：Dave Clark/Pearl Woods

[00:00:10] I'm up every morning with the sun

[00:00:14] I work all day 'til the evening comes

[00:00:19] Blisters and corns all in my hands

[00:00:23] Lord have mercy on a working man

[00:00:27] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty

[00:00:35] My pay goes down and my tax goes up

[00:00:40] I drink my tea from a broken cup

[00:00:44] Between my woman and Uncle Sam

[00:00:48] I can't figure out who's fool I am

[00:00:53] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty

[00:01:01] Oh Lord it's so hard

[00:01:06] Lord but it's fair

[00:01:10] Everybody talk nobody really care

[00:01:17] Lord I can't save a dime can't borrow one cent

[00:01:23] If I pay my bills I can't pay my rent

[00:01:27] The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying

[00:01:31] They won't let me join the welfare line

[00:01:35] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living in poverty

[00:01:44] There's a war on poverty

[00:01:47] Oh they say it's going around now

[00:01:52] All that means people yeah

[00:01:56] They're trying hard to keep you down

[00:02:00] Oh oh oh Lord poverty
