I'm up each day with the risin' sun I've got a job and it must be done I leave for work feelin' good 'Cause you're on my mind Each part of you help me pass the time I'm a poor man's son Push, push, and on workin' with a smile Just lovin' you makes it all worthwhile I'll get my pay like the rest When the week is through Gonna buy you something that pleases you I'm poor man's son No man, rich or poor Could ever love you any more, woo I work my hand nearly to the bones These thoughts of mine lever lets me go I'm workin' hard every day For the things we plan I'll love you so, 'cause you understand I'm a poor man's son That's why I'm up every day with the risin' sun I've got this job and it will be done I'm a poor man's son I'm a poor man's son I'm a poor man's son
