None of them
There's a G whole lot of people lookin' D7 down their noses at G me
'Cause I didn't come from a D7 wealthy fami-{G} ly
There were C ten of us livin' in a G two-room shack
On the D7 banks of the river by the G railroad tracks
We C kept chickens in a G pen in the back
And ever'body said we were D7 Po' Folks. ...
My G daddy was a farmer, but D7 all he ever raised was G us
He dug a forty-foot well, struck D7 thrirty-six gallons of G dust
The C Salvation Army gave us G clothes to wear
A D7 man from the County came to G cut our hair
We C lived next door to a G millionaire
But D7 we wasn't nothin' but G Po' Folks.
Refrain:
We was C Po' Folks livin' in a G rich folks world
We D7 sure was a hungry G bunch
If the C wolf had ever come to G our front door
A7 He'd a had to brought a D7 picnic lunch.
My G granddaddy's pension was a D7 dollar and thirty-three G cents
That was ten dollars less than the D7 landlord wanted for G rent
The C landlord's letters got G nasty, indeed
He D7 wrote: "Get out!", but G Pa couldn't read
And C we were too broke, to G even pay heed
But D7 that's how it is, when you're G Po' Folks.
Refrain:
But G we had somethin' in our D7 house, money can't G buy
Kept us warm in the winter, D7 cool when the sun was G high
For C whenever we didn't have food G enough
And the D7 howlin' winds, would G get pretty rough
We C patched the cracks and set the G {S-P} table with 'Love'
'Cause D7 that's what you do, when you're G Po' Folks;
And D7 we wasn't nothin' but G Po' Folks
My D7 mom and my dad was G Po' Folks
My D7 brother and my sister was G Po' Folks {FADE}
My D7 dog and my cat was G Po' Folks
And D7 even the Po' Folks was G Po' Folks.
