Poor Elijah

Poor Elijah, living on the bayou way.

Poor Elijah, he had to take over raising fourteen kids

When his daddy got caught stealing chickens from a neighbor one day.

Work on Elijah, work on.



Poor Elijah, born the son of a slave.

Poor Elijah, he was damn near blind when he died last week

From working in the sun for the man like a dog all day.

Work on Elijah, work on.



Poor Elijah.

Poor Elijah.

Poor Elijah.

Poor Elijah.
