 Lyrics for Album: Coll: Ryhmes Reasons / Poems Prayers / Rocky Mount [1971]
 
 
 
 9180>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
