Love of the Common People

Love of the Common People - Eric Donaldson

Living on free food ticket

Water in the milk froom the holes in the roof

When the rain came through

What can you do o o o

Tears from your little sister

Crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress

But a patch oh poor little girl

What do you know she'll get by

For she's been living in the love of a common people

Smiles on the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle

Mummy's gonna love you till as much as she can

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

It will fall through the holes in your pocket

And you loose it to the snow on the ground

You got to get into town

To find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm

But the holes in your shoes and the snow comes

Through boy chills you to the bone

I say you better go home where you'll be warm

And you will live in the love of a common people

Smiles on the heart of a family man

It's not easy

The 'cross on leave better go home
