Lyrics of Poor Man's Gold by Jamestown Revival
intro
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
verse
The rich man asked the preacher to help him find the truth
He was looking for his soul, that got thrown out with his youth
Spent a whole life chasing money
Man had lost his way
And he couldn't understand what the preacher man was about to say
chorus
He said, "A fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold"
verse
He said, "I've been thinking about what you said
It's been a minute since I made my bed
I chased down the living, but I wasn't living at all
And it shook me to the cold, brother, when I heard your call"
chorus
When a fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
hook
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
chorus
A fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
chorus
When a fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
outro
No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
