"Poor Folks Town" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

The work is hard and the hours are long
The money ain't much but we get along
We're rich in things that life can give
That can't be bought with a dollar bill.

Come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town.

--- Instrumental ---

We got no carpets on the floor
We've got wall to wall love who could ask for more
We got no fancy things to show
Just a place to watch our children grow.

We got no big fine car to drive
And no fancy clothes to keep in style
What we've got we're paying on
But it's mostly love that we're living on.

So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town.

--- Instrumental ---

We've got a little simple church near by
And the promise of a mansion in the sky
A heart of gold, a million dollar smile
And a one-way ticket to paradise.

So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town.

So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town.

So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks living in a poor folks town...
