Marty Robbins - Rich Man Rich Man lyrics

rate me

Rich man, rich man got all the good land<br />

Ain't nothin' left but bad land for the poor man<br />

Rich man's money, rich man's school<br />

Did they make the poor man, rich man's fool<br />

<br />

Rich man, rich man never have dirty hands<br />

Never hold a plow that's turnin' his land<br />

Poor man holds it day by day<br />

Did they make the poor man, rich man's slave<br />

<br />

I work the field come rain or shine<br />

What else can I do<br />

I have nothing nor has mine<br />

Are we rich man's fools<br />

<br />

Poor man, poor man always be a poor man<br />

Sit at the end of day then I'm a tired man<br />

Rich man's money, rich man's school<br />

Did they make the poor man, rich man's fool<br />

<br />

Rich man worried 'bout all the money spent<br />

Worried 'bout taxes, he owes the government<br />

Then on payday poor man shines<br />

They can't tax just one thin dime<br />

<br />

God loves both of us rich and poor alike<br />

Loves us both the same, equal within his sight<br />

Has no favourites, this I know<br />

For the good book tells me so<br />

<br />

Wealth can't buy a home on high<br />

Not all the worldly gold<br />

Faith, on bended knees, can buy<br />

A home in saviour's soul<br />

<br />

Rich and poor the same, no good without the flame<br />

I mean the flame of love, sent down from God above<br />

If our Faith in Him we lose<br />

Rich or poor, we're both a fool
