Its A Sin To Be Rich Its A Low-down Shame To Be Poor Lyrics

You know that it's a sin to be rich

  But it's a low down shame to be
poor

It is a sin to be rich

  You know that it's a low down shame
to be poor

You know a rich man ain't got a chance to go to heaven

 
And a poor man got a hard way to go



You know I don't wanna be
rich

  I just wanna stay between rich and poor

No I don't wanna be
rich

  I just wanna live between rich and poor

Yes when I die you
know I wanna go to heaven

  That's when Po' Lightnin' will have a chance
to go



Gabriel gonna be the next man to blow that trumpet

  I
wants to be there when he blow (blow, Gabriel)

Whoa he gonna be the next
man blow that trumpet

  I wants to be there when po' Gabriel blow

Whoa that's when the world be off(?) with the people

And I can leay
there and rest for sure

Everybody!
