Cotton dresses and overalls Busy hands when the crop grows tall Bring it in just before the storm Work real hard and you'll get along Growing up wearing hand-me-downs A little house just outside of town Rusty tractor, old milk cow Everyone gets fed somehow Hear that fiddle, dance your girl around Sunday morning, lay your burden down Raise your voices and sing out loud Count your blessings, poor but proud Some folks are looking down on you They know you're poor and you do too Join the army or plow these fields You'll wind up working in the cotton mill Hunting fish 'cause you need the food Uptown people never eat this good Rusty tractor, old milk cow Everyone gets fed somehow Hear that fiddle, dance your girl around Sunday morning, lay your burden down Raise your voices, sing out loud Count your blessings, poor but proud Take that highway and disappear Or take your chances and stay right here Rusty tractor, old milk cow Everyone gets fed somehow Hear that fiddle, dance your girl around Sunday morning, lay your burden down Raise your voices, sing out loud Count your blessings, poor but proud Oh, you're poor but proud
