Lord Must Have Loved The Poor Folks Lyrics - Norma Jean

My daddy was nothing but a dirt farmer 

And I don't remember a penny he ever saved 

Al he ever have was a farm and it was bare 

A bent back and an early grey 

But the Lord must have loved the poor folks who worked from daylight till dusk 

The Lord must have loved the poor folks he made so many of us 

[ guitar ] 

For fifteen years my man worked a railroad 

Fifteen years and he never missed a day 

All he ever got was an old gold watch a freepass and too little pay 

But the Lord must have loved the poor folks... 

He made so many of us
