Poorman's Grave
I know a man who had nothing
- 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 prays from morning until night he said
- Good lord why have you forsaken me
- When everything I did I thought was right
- Now my life is 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 me up in a coat and tie
- Give my feet a pair of shoes
- That I haven't wore 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 just to survive
- He comes home drunk every night
- Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife he said
- Honey you have been so good to me
- I only wish we had a better life
- And now my life's coming to an end
- There's only one thing I'm wishing for
- All my days I have lived in shame
- So I hope you won't ignore
- Just what I'm asking for
- Oh honey when I die
- Dress me up in a coat and tie
- Give my feet a pair of shoes
- That I haven't wore 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 poor man's
- 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

If only i could sing as well as you do, then maybe I could be less disappointed in my life
Every time you sing, I’ll listen to you...
