"Don't Put A Poor Hand On Me" lyrics

Monday morning
My feet hit the floor
And I'm off
And this cruel world wants more
Almost kneeling to a man
To keep a job I need
Boss, don't put the poor hand on me

I've got a woman and some kids
With a habit, they came great
I've gotta feed them three times a day
My landlord's threatening me
He's going to take back my key
Boss, don't put the poor hand on me

I've heard that line so many times
I can't keep score
"Sorry, we can't use you no more"
Walk on by, let me be
Don't hand that little pink slip to me
Boss, don't put the poor hand on me

I've heard that line so many times
I can't keep score
"Sorry, we can't use you no more"
Change your mind, let me be
Don't hand that little pink slip to me
Boss, don't put the poor hand on me
Boss, don't put the poor hand on me
