• 12. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live (Bruce Springsteen Version)

Well the doctor comes 'round here with his face all bright
And he says "in a little while you'll be alright"
But all he gives is a humbug pill, a dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live

He said "me and my old school pals had some mighty high times 'round here
And what happened to you poor black folks, well it just ain't fair"
He took a look around, gave a little pep talk, said "I'm with you" then he took a little walk
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live

There's bodies floatin' on Canal and the levees gone to Hell
Martha, get me my sixteen gauge and some dry shells
Them who's got got out of town and them who ain't got left to drown
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live

Come on boys!

Now I got family scattered from Texas to Baltimore
Now mister I ain't got no home in this world no more
Gonna be a judgment that's a fact, a righteous train rollin' down this track
How can a poor man stand such times and live
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live
