[00:00.00]How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live - The New Lost City Ramblers
[00:05.94]There once was a time when everything was cheap
[00:10.82]But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep
[00:15.76]When we pay our grocery bill
[00:18.48]We just feel like makin' our will
[00:20.95]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:26.29]I remember when dry goods were cheap as dirt
[00:31.41]We could take two bits and buy a dandy shirt
[00:36.31]Now we pay three bucks or more
[00:38.94]Maybe get a shirt that another man wore
[00:41.24]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[00:46.59]Well I used to trade with a man by the name of Gray
[00:51.65]Flour was fifty cents for a twenty four pound bag
[00:56.65]Now it's a dollar and a half beside
[00:58.97]Just like a skinnin' off a flea for the hide
[01:01.53]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[01:26.55]Oh the schools we have today ain't worth a cent
[01:31.49]But they see to it that every child is sent
[01:36.45]If we don't send everyday
[01:38.73]We have a heavy fine to pay
[01:41.34]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[01:46.31]Prohibition's good if 'tis conducted right
[01:51.34]There's no sense in shootin' a man till he shows flight
[01:56.28]Officers kill without a cause
[01:58.76]Then complain about funny laws
[02:01.27]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[02:06.21]Most all preachers preach for gold and not for souls
[02:11.37]That's what keeps a poor man always in a hole
[02:16.20]We can hardly get our breath
[02:18.55]Taxed and schooled and preached to death
[02:21.06]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[02:46.04]Oh it's time for every man to be awake
[02:50.82]We pay fifty cents a pound when we ask for steak
[02:55.77]When we get our package home
[02:58.08]A little wad of paper with gristle and a bone
[03:00.76]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
[03:05.86]Well the doctor comes around with a face all bright
[03:10.74]And he says in a little while you'll be all right
[03:15.57]All he gives is a humbug pill
[03:17.77]A dose of d**e and a great big bill
[03:20.31]Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
