SAD DAY FOR A POOR MAN
Author(s): Singing Sam, Jeremy
Songbook: Aaron David Songbook
KeyWords: Christmas,

Presidents, and preachers too,
Everybody's singin' the get rich blues.
Well they steal your money, and make you cry,
Make you feel like you wanna die.
And it's a sad day for a poor man.
[Repeat -- sad day for a poor man]

I went to church the other day,
All they had to say was let's pass the offerin' plate.
I ain't got no money and I'm feelin' real sad.
They said, get outa' here boy, you're just all bad.
And it's a sad day for a poor man,
Sad day for a poor man.


I bought a coke at the five and ten.
They said it cost a quarter and that's a real big sin.
I went to lookin' for a job,
They said, cut your hair boy, you filthy slob.
And it's a sad day for a poor man,
Sad day for a poor man.
