Lyrics

Will we get cold and hungry, will times be very bad?
 When we're needin' bread and meat where we gonna get it, Dad?
 We'll get it from the man in the house on the hill
 Yes we will from the man on the hill
 Ploughin' time is over still the fields are bare
 How we gonna make a livin' with twenty acres to share
 I'll beg for more land from the man on the hill
 Yes I will I'll ask the man on the hill
 I ain't got no Sunday shoes that I can wear to town
 Papa reckon the boss has got a pair of hand-me-downs
 I'll go and ask the man in the house on the hill
 Yes I will I'll ask the man on the hill
 Maybe he will help us maybe we'll get by
 But who's gonna pay the dyin' bills if we all should die
 We'll leave it to the man in the sky when we die
 Yes we'll leave it to the man in the sky
