The Man On The Hill
Johnny Cash
[Verse 1] Will we get cold and hungry will times be very bad When we’re needin’ bread and meat where we gonna get it dad We’ll get it from the man in the house on the hill Yes we will from the man on the hill [Verse 2] Ploughin’ time is over still the fields are bare How we gonna make a livin’ with twenty acres to share I’ll beg for more land from the man on the hill Yes I will I’ll ask the man on the hill [Verse 3] I ain’t got no Sunday shoes that I can wear to town Papa reckon the boss has got a pair of hand-me-downs I’ll go and ask the man in the house on the hill Yes I will I’ll ask the man on the hill [Verse 4] Maybe he will help us maybe we’ll get by But who’s gonna pay the dyin’ bills if we all should die We’ll leave it to the man in the sky when we die Yes we’ll leave it to the man in the sky
