Love Of The Common People - Wanda Jackson

Livin' on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do?

Tears from little sister cryin'

'Cause she doesn’t have a dress without a patch

For the party to go, oh

But she knows she’ll get by

'Cause she is livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy’s gonna buy her a dream to cling to

Mama’s gonna love her just as much as she can and she can

It’s a good thing you don’t have a bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you’d lose it on the snow on the ground

A walking to town to find a job

Tryin' to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

It chills to the bone, boy

You’d better go home where it’s warm

And you can live in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama’s gonna love you just as much as you can and you can

Livin' on dreams ain’t easy

But the closer the knit the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away

You take 'em in stride, family pride

You know that faith is your foundation

And a whole lot of love

And a warm conversation and plenty of prayer

Making you strong where you belong

And you can live in the love of the common people

Oh, yes, we live in the love of the common people

Oh, yeah, we live in the love of the common people
