Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: Love of the Common People
Lyrics for Album: Gems By Jim [RCA Victor] [1967]



(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)



Living on free food, tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain comes through

What can you do? hmm.



Tears from little sister crying

'Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch

For the party to go

Oh, but you know she'll get by.



Because she's living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.



It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare

Or it would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

You walk into town to find a job.



You're trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

And it chills you to the bone, boy

You'd better go home where it's warm.



Where you can live on the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.



Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the fit the tighter the knit

And the chills stay away

You take 'em in stride, family pride.



You know that faith is your foundation

But with a whole lotta love

And a warm conversation, of course there's a prayer

Making you strong where you belong.



Where you can live on the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.



Live on the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can...
