Well, the docBbtor comes 'round here with Fhis face all bright Bb And says "in a little while you'll be alrightF" But all hBbe gives is a humbug pill, a dose of dopeEb and a great big bill Tell me, howBb can a poor man stand suFch times and live' He says &Bbquot;me and my old school pals had some might high timFes down here
And what happened to you poor black folks, well it just ain't fair" F
He took a lookBb around gave a little pep talk, said "I'm wiEbth you" then he took a littlCme walk
BbTell me, how can a poor man stand sFuch times and live' (riff 1) There's bodies floatin' on Canal and the levees goneF to Hell Bb Martha, get me my sixteen gauge and some dry shellsF Them who's got gBbot out of town And them who ain't Ebgot left to drown Cm Bb F (riff 1) Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live' BbI got family scattered from Texas all the wayF to Baltimore G No, sir I ain't got no home in this world no more F Eb Gonna be a judgment that's a fact, Bb EbA righteous train rollin' down this trCmack Bb F (riff 1) Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live'
