Poorman’s Grave
I know a man who had nothing
He was a poor man all his life
He lived in a shack by the roadside
With starving kids and a loving wife.
He went to church every Sunday
He prayed from morning unil night
He said “Good Lord, why have you forsaken me
When everything I did I thought was right?”
Refrain:
Now my life’s coming to an end
There’s only one thing I’m wishing for
All my days I have never sinned
So I hope you won’t ignore what I’m asking for
Oh honey, when I die dress up in a coat and tie
Give my feet a pair of shoes that I
Haven’t worn in a long time
Put me in a golden box not a cross on a pile of rocks
Bury me where the grass is green and
The gates are shining
Oh honey, when I die give me a bed of roses
Where I could lie, I’m gonna use up all
The money that I saved
Coz I don’t wanna lie in a poor man’s grave
I know a man who had nothing
He dreamed of satin sheets all his life
He lived and worked like a dog
Licking every boot he sees
