Will we get cold and hungry will times be very bad
When we`re needin` bread and meat where we gonna get it dad
We`ll get it from the man in the house on the hill
Yes we will from the man on the hill
Ploughin` time is over still the fields are bare
How we gonna make a livin` with twenty acres to share
I`ll beg for more land from the man on the hill yes I will I`ll ask the man on the hill
I ain`t got no Sunday shoes that I can wear to town
Papa reckon the boss has got a pair of hand-me-downs
I`ll go and ask the man in the house on the hill yes I will I`ll ask the man on the hill
Maybe he will help us maybe we`ll get by
But who`s gonna pay the dyin` bills if we all should die
We`ll leave it to the man in the sky when we die
Yes we`ll leave it to the man in the sky
