The Rich Man and the Poor Man Lyrics – Bob Miller
Singer: Bob Miller
Title: The Rich Man and the Poor Man
There’s just two kind of people, the sinner and the saint;
There’s one that gets and always got while the other poor one ain’t
Oh, the rich man drives his Lincoln past the red light with a grin
And the poor man follows right behind in his little hunk of tin
There’s a motorcycle copper following upon their trail;
Oh, the rich man tears his ticket, but the poor man goes to jail
Oh, the rich man takes the high road anywhere that he may go
But when the poor man’s travelin’ he must always take the low
So if you’re rich you’ll travel snug as peas are in the pod;
Oh, the rich man rides a cushion and the poor man rides the rods
Oh, the rich man when he’s ailing stays at home and calls the doc
But the poor man has to go to work, be in time to punch a clock
The rich man takes his medicine, has his doctors and his nurse;
So the rich man he gets better but the poor man he gets worse!
Oh, the rich man steals a million from the bank that he controls
While the poor man steals a loaf of bread or a penny’s worth of rolls
They take them to the courthouse, one is laughing, one’s in tears;
Oh, the rich man gets an apology while the poor man gets ten years!
Oh, the rich man gets a lawyer and the lawyer pleads his case
While the poor man asks for sympathy but of that there is now trace
So if you’re rich don’t worry but the poor must give up hope;
Oh, the rich man gets acquitted while the poor man gets the rope!
Oh, the rich man when he kicks off has a casket made of gold
While the poor man has a wooden box and his grave looks mighty cold
The rich man gets a sermon but here’s one thing that’s sure
When the rich man takes that last long ride he’s as much dead as the poor!
