Norma Jean Po' Folks Lyrics:
There's a whole lotta people lookin' down their
noses at me Cause I didn't come from a wealthy
family There was ten of us livin' in a two room
shack On the banks of the river by the railroad
track We kept chickens in a pen in the back snd
everybody said we was po' folks My daddy was a
farmer but all he ever raised was us Dug a forty
foot well struck thirty six gallons of dust The
Salvation Army gave us clothes to wear A man from
the county came to cut our hair We lived next door
to a millionare but we wadn't nothin' but po'
folks

We was po' folks livin' in a rich folks world we
sure was a hungry bunch If the wolf had ever come

to our front door he'd had to brought a picnic
lunch My grandaddy's pension was a dollar and
thirty three cents That was ten dollars less than
the landlord wanted for rent The landlord's
letters got nasty indeed he wrote get out but pa
couldn't read We were too broke to even pay heed
but that's how it is when you're po' folks We was
po' folks livin' in a rich folks world we sure was
a hungry bunch...

But we had somethin' in our house money can't buy
Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was
high For whenever we didn't have food enough And
the howling winds would get pretty rough We
patched the cracks and set the table with love
Cause that's what you do when you're po' folks and
we wadn't nothin' but po' folks My mom and my
daddy was po' folks my brother and my sister was
po' folks My dog and my cat was po' folks
Lyrics: Po' Folks, Norma Jean [end]
