Poor [D]folks have [G]poor [D]ways
Thats what they said when I was growing [A]up
Low [D]pay and long, [G]long [D]days
Back then, you [A]had to be [D]tough
We lived in a share- [G]croppers [D]house
High ceilings and wall-papered [A]walls
Poorer [D]than country [G]church [D]mouse
But we were [A]happy, all of [D]us
Mama made us clothes from [G]old flour [D]sacks
And we had only one pair of shoes to w[A]ear
But we could make it cause [G]we bowed our [D]backs
Daddy cut every- [A]bodys [D]hair
Saturday night, we all [G]had a [D]bath
Three inches of water in a three foot [A]tub
Cleanest [D]kid got [G]to go [D]first
Dirtiest had [A]to be l[D]ast
We were dutch- [G]scrubbed [D]clean
Shiny as a [A]penny
Sun [D]tanned, [G]skinny and [D]lean
Going to town to [A]get some [D]candy
None of us [G]knew of any better [D]days
We were just poor [A]folk
With poor [D]ways
Thats what they said when I was growing [A]up
Low [D]pay and long, [G]long [D]days
Back then, you [A]had to be [D]tough
We lived in a share- [G]croppers [D]house
High ceilings and wall-papered [A]walls
Poorer [D]than country [G]church [D]mouse
