Lemon Pie Lyrics - 33 1/3 - Shemekia Copeland

Train left the station 

I didn't climb aboard 

Price of a ticket was too much to afford 

And I saw that politician 

I know you know his name 

Waving from the window of that gravy train 

Lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor 

That's what we're working for 

And I hope you weren't expecting more 

Than lemon pie for the poor 

I'm hungry for a job 

I'm hungry for a meal 

I'm hungry for the good thing I'm too proud to steal 

I'm barely getting by 

I'm doing this and that 

While people up top keep getting fat

Lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor 

That's what we're working for 

And I hope you weren't expecting more 

Than lemon pie for the poor 

Don't you ever wonder why you just keep on running 

When all you got's a teeny-weeny, itty-bitty piece coming 

Piece of lemon pie for the poor 

Life is just coal mine 

You're shafted everyday 

The bossman must have never that Lincoln freed the slaves 

So you keep on working 

Your face against the stone 

While other get the steak, 

You get the bone. 

Lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor 

That's what we're working for

Lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor 

Keep a scrub-a-rub-dubbing those floors. 

And I hope you weren't expecting more 

Than a little ole piece of lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor 

Lemon pie for the poor
