Crime to be Poor song Lyrics – Ashley griggs
Crime to be Poor song Details:
I saw deadwood laying in the water when I went down to New Orleans.
They had bad times but not like this before.
I thought about the people they give it all for the family.
Here’s to the people of New Orleans.
I saw dead streets but a lot of meek people.
When I went down to New Orleans
After the storm nobody came for days
They give it all for music the tourists come to see
All the beautiful people of New Orleans
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime being poor
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime.
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime being poor
Sometimes in this world well that’s a crime
Louisiana could be the richest state in the USA
There’s oil in the Gulf of Mexico
New Orleans I walked those streets and I happened to meet
Some beautiful people there
I saw fear in the eyes of the brave
When I went down to New Orleans
Desperation makes a man a man
Finding food to eat well that ain’t a crime
Everybody rise up down in New Orleans
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime being poor
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime.
Sometimes in this world it’s a crime being poor
Sometimes in this world well that’s a crime
