Mr. President [have pity on the working man] lyrics

We've taken all you've given

It's gettin' hard to make a livin'

Mr. President, have pity on the working man

We ain't asking you to love us

You may place yourself high above us

Mr. President, have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny

But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money

We just can't make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing

We need something to keep us gong

Mr. President, have pity on the working man

Maybe you're cheatin'

Maybe you're lyin'

Maybe you have lost your mind

Maybe you only think about yourself

Too late to run, too late to cry now

The time has come for us to say good-bye now

Mr. President, have pity on the working man

Mr. President, have pity on the working man
