Artist/Band: John Denver
Lyrics for Song: Love Of The Common People
Lyrics for Album: Coll: Ryhmes Reasons / Poems Prayers / Rocky Mount [1971]



Living on free food tickets



Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can we do? Mmm

Tears from your baby sister



Cryin' 'cause she doesn't have a dress

Without a patch for the party to go

Ah but you know she'll get by



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

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can



It's a good thing you don't have busfare



it would fall through the hole in your pocket

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

Walking to the town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm



But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

And it chills to the bone

Boy you better go home where it's warm



And you can live in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can



Living on dreams ain't easy

but the closer the knit the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away

You take them in stride, family pride

You know, faith is your foundation



With a whole lot of love

And a warm conversation and many a prayer

making you strong where you belong



Living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

Yeah



Living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can



Yeah ... (repeat chorus and fade)



And she can
