Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

My father is a hard earned worker;

My mother has a heart of gold

I was never much younger but I feel twice as old

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

But I've got money for food and a little bit of gasoline

I've got plenty of time but i want everything now

But I don't need no gold or silver

Oh I only need a few new things

Or i would buy pearls for my lover

Or just a brand new set of guitar strings

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

I feel a cold wind blowing;

Dark clouds form on the western sky

I've got a feeling like knowing that

Everyone here will someday die

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter

Oh like a poor man's son

And I see the bright stars shining high above the Bethlehem tower;

I hear the chorus of angels singing out loud the sweetest sound

Oh brothers let's go down

Let's go down won't you come on down

Oh brother let's go down

Down in the river to pray

Oh sisters let's go down

Let's go down won't you come on down

Oh sister let's go down

Down in the river to pray

Oh family let's go down

Let's go down come on down

Oh family let's go down

Down in the river to pray

But I don't need no gold or silver

Oh I only need a few new things

Or i would buy pearls for my lover

Or just a brand new set of guitar strings
