When You`re Poor — текст песни (Loretta Lynn)

Hungry little baby on a cold hard floor cryin` for milk but there ain`t no more
We can`t get credit at the grocery store that`s how it is when you`re poor
Cry tears little baby for the future in store I got trouble for a child born poor
Slave all your life not knowin` what for that`s how it is when you`re poor

There`s not enough money to go to school
I can`t afford the clothes to fit the social fools
Lord forgive me when I curse the rules but that`s how it is when you`re poor
Gotta work hard just the bills to be paid
Sixteen hours there`s a livin` to be made
Never get ahead just livin` day to day that`s how it is when you`re poor

Hard work buried in the back of my mind
Haven`t got much money but have a lotta time
It`s been done doin` nothin` but tryin` that`s how it is when you`re poor
Old house needs fix but that`ll have to wait
I dream about the life that could be real great
I hope it`s not long more it`ll be too late but that`s how it is when you`re poor
