Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
my father was a hard earned worker
my mother has a heart of gold
i was never much younger
but i feel twice as old
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
but i've got money for food
and a little bit of gasoline
i've got plenty of time
but i want everything now
but i don't need no gold or silver
i only need a few new things
oh i'll buy pearls for my lover
oh and a brand new set of guitar strings
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
i feel a cold wind blowin'
dark clouds form on the western sky
i've got a feelin' like known
everyone here will one day die
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter
oh like a poor man's son
i see a bright star shinin'
i love bethlehem town
i hear a Chorus of angels
Singing out loud the sweetest sound
oh brothers lets go down
let's go down won't you come on down
oh brohters let's go down
down in the river to pray
oh brothers lets go down
let's go down won't you come on down
oh brohters let's go down
down in the river to pray
but i don't need no gold or silver
i only need a few new things
oh i'll buy pearls for my lover
oh and a brand new set of guitar strings
