Poor Man’s Son Lyrics by Noah Gundersen

Ledges

2014

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son

My father is a hard earned worker; my mother has a heart of gold
I was never much younger but I feel twice as old

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son

But I've got money for food and a little bit of gasoline
I've got plenty of time but I want everything now
But I don't need no gold or silver
Oh I only need a few new things
Or I would buy pearls for my lover
Or just a brand new set of guitar strings

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son

I feel a cold wind blowing;
Dark clouds form on the western sky
I've got a feeling like knowing that everyone here will someday die

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son

And I see the bright stars shining high above the Bethlehem town;
I hear the chorus of angels singing out loud the sweetest sound

Oh brothers, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

Oh sisters, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh sisters, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

Oh family, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh family, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

But I don't need no gold or silver
Oh I only need a few new things
Or I would buy pearls for my lover
Or just a brand new set of guitar strings
