Lyrics Poor Old Lu

Poor Old Lu

Thoughtless

in my money, i was at home

to the beggar, i was so cold

in my pockets, all that i could hold

as i left here, this was all i was told...

well, i get a dime for all of my good

a nickel for all that i could

and a quarter for all i said i would

and i was left poor, poor, poor

oh my, how poor

as a thinker, i was so loud

in my wisdom, i was profound

as i left here, this was the sound...

well, i get a dime for all of my good

a nickel for all that i could

and a quarter for all i said i would

and i was left poor, poor, poor

oh my, how poor

oh my Lord

by my own way, i felt very near

when it shook me, this was all

i could hear...
