Rich Man Poor Man Lyrics


I need a bride, but the dolphins are runnin'
A woman who'd cry, but the sea must provide
A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin'
First things first when you get to the seaA rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he canI need a home, but my boots keep goin'
Healing and peace that a fire could provide
A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow
First things first when you get to the fireA rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he canI need a song, but the spring is for sowing
A word to the wise that the earth must provide
A tune to untangle the riddle of growing
First things first when you get to the landA rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he canI need the moon but the landlord needs money
The field of wildflowers that the stars could provide
A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow
First things first when you get to the skyA rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The trio Peter, Paul and Mary (often PP&M) is an American musical group that was one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. The trio comprises Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. The group was created by manager Albert Grossman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)." He launched the group in 1961, booking them into the Bitter End, a coffee house in New York City's Greenwich Village that was a favorite place to hear folk artists.
