The rich man, Poor man, Beggar man, Thief
   Am                 Am               
Everyone claim, That them are the chief

The rich man buy, The poor man life

The poor man take away, The beggar mans wife

The children will be free to come over

Singing and dancing, Ready to take over
G           G                    G
