Lyrics

[00:01.03] Will we get cold and hungry
[00:03.81] Will times be very bad?
[00:07.40] When we're needin' bread and meat
[00:10.45] Where we gonna get it, Dad?
[00:15.00] We'll get it from the man
[00:18.26][01:19.59] In the house on the hill
[00:22.64] Yes we will from the man on the hill
[00:30.12] Ploughin' time is over
[00:32.93] Still the fields are bare
[00:36.01] How we gonna make a livin'
[00:38.93] With twenty acres to share?
[00:44.55] I'll beg for more land
[00:47.84] From the man on the hill
[00:53.33][01:24.91] Yes I will, I'll ask the man on the hill
[01:00.41] I ain't got no Sunday shoes
[01:03.30] That I can wear to town
[01:06.06] Papa reckon the boss has got
[01:09.89] A pair of hand-me-downs
[01:16.18] I'll go and ask the man
[01:31.83] Maybe he will help us
[01:34.84] Maybe we'll get by
[01:37.75] But who's gonna pay the dyin' bills
[01:41.79] If we all should die
[01:47.80] We'll leave it to the man
[01:50.98] In the sky when we die
[01:57.01] Yes we'll leave it to the man in the sky
