Hush up, honey, don’t you cry
D                                         A

And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        A

Work through the winter, work through the spring
     D                                             A
Yeah plant my corn and taters and then it wouldn't rain

Now I got down on my knees

Lord I thought I’d pray

Along come a great big flood

Washed everything away

And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        A

A
Work through the winter, Lord, work through this fall
D                                         A
All I got for Christmas was a pair of overalls
                              E
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man

Well I got down on my knees

Looked up to the sky
D                                          A
All I can think of is to ask the good Lord why
                              E
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
         E
