Lyrics of Papa Was A Poor Man by Jack Jersey
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
He ain′t got no money, he ain't got a job
The mama once felt so happy
His papa was the best lookin′ man who came around
His day came along, sang a little song
He made the mama felt so happy
He got a little song that papa gonna cradle downtown
Ain't talkin' ′bout papa
He was the poor richest man in town
I never saw a man who was so fine, but papa
He was the only friend of mine
Hey, papa
He was the poor richest man in town
A man who lost money on a Saturdaynight
For mama, the Sunday was alright
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
He ain′t got a house, he ain't got a car
The mama once felt so happy
His papa was the only man who tried so hard
A man, he had the hood, am I always understood
His smudge once felt so happy
But papa said: "Tomorrow′s another time"
Ain't talkin′ 'bout papa
He was the poor richest man in town
I never saw a man who was so fine, but papa
He was the only friend of mine
Hey, papa
He was the poor richest man in town
A man who lost money on a Saturdaynight
For mama, the Sunday was alright
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Ain′t talkin' 'bout papa
He was the poor richest man in town
I never saw a man who was so fine, but papa
He was the only friend of mine
Hey, papa
He was the poor richest man in town
A man who lost money on a Saturdaynight
For mama, the Sunday was alright
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
Papa was a poor man
Papa was a poor, poor, poor, poor
Poor, poor, poor man
