Yesterday was a very nice day indeed
i got up out of bed went outside and brushed my teeth
put on dirty clothes and go back to work
i got to make the money to give the money away at the rich man's store
i lived on a place they call South Front Street
it ain't on a map you couldn't me if you tried
we've got a horse a train and a garden in the back yard
it's a rotten paradise at times i think i'm gonna die
cause they try to drag me down
but i get back up, i get back up again
here comes the power man with the water man by his side
looks like the telephone man gave them a ride
they killed my house and left me this way
i bought a kerosine lanter and baby you know i don't bath
cause they try to drag me down but i get back up again
