He was once a younger man, just like you and I But times have changed for this old man, the story makes you cry
Now the nights are getting colder, can you lift a hand Soon to die, I'm growing older, help me if you can
Just a Penny for a Poor Man A poor man, yes I am . . . Just a Penny for a Poor Man
An honest man with a heart of gold, stricken by his luck All alone, not a single friend, and no one to love
If you had no food or shelter, just a place to stand Would you ask for some assistance, would you need a hand?
Just a Penny for a Poor Man A poor man, yes I am . . . Just a Penny for a Poor Man
Will he live until tomorrow, or will he die today? Can you feel the grief and sorrow that this song portrays?
Now you say you are a rich man, well show us what you have! If your heart holds any riches, lend a helping hand . . .
Just a Penny for a Poor Man A poor man, yes I am . . . Just a Penny for a Poor Man Just a Penny for a Poor Man A poor man, yes I am . . . Just a Penny for a Poor Man
