[Verse 1]
The road to hardship
Leads right to poor house door
Road to hardship
Leads right to poor house door
I’m going there
And ain’t coming back no more

[Verse 2]
Poor house, poor house
Open wide your poor house gate
Poor house, poor house
Open wide your poor house gate
I’m down and out
Now I know it’s too late

[Verse 3]
Spent my money
Spent it on my so called friends
Spent my money
Spent it on my so called friends
And now I’m broke
That’s where their friendship ends

[Verse 4]
Here’s the wagon
It’s come to take mе away
Here’s the wagon
It’s comе to take me away
In the poor house
I’ll be till judgement day
