Lemon Pie - Shemekia Copeland

Written by：John Hahn

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 a little lot piece of

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

Poor

Poor

Poor

Life is just coal mine

You're shafted everyday

The boss man must never heard 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

Poor

Lemon pie for the poor

Poor
