Artist: Ry Cooder Album: N/A (0000) Title: How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live ?
Lyrics How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live ?Well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright And he says, "In a little while you'll be all right" All he gives is a humbug pill, dose of dope and a great big bill Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? Well there once was a time when every thing was cheap But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep When we get our grocery bill, we just feel like making our will Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? Prohibitions good if it's conducted right There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight Officers kill without a cause then they complain about the funny laws Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? |
