Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

Livin' on free food tickets 

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof 

Where the rain came through 

What can you do? 

Tears from little sister cryin' 

'Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch 

For the party to go, oh 

But she knows she'll get by 

'Cause she is livin' in the love of the common people 

Smiles from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can and she can 

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare 

It would fall through the hole in your pocket 

And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground 

A walking to town to find a job 

Tryin' to keep your hands warm 

But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through 

It chills to the bone, boy 

You'd better go home where it's warm 

And you can live in the love of the common people 

Smiles from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as you can and you can 

Livin' on dreams ain't easy 

But the closer the knit the tighter the fit 

And the chills stay away 

You take 'em in stride, family pride 

You know that faith is your foundation 

And a whole lot of love 

And a warm conversation and plenty of prayer 

Making you strong where you belong 

And you can live in the love of the common people 

Oh, yes, we live in the love of the common people 

Oh, yeah, we live in the love of the common people
