"It's A Sin To Be Rich, It's A Low-Down Shame To Be Poor" lyrics - LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS

You know that it's a sin to be rich but it's a low-down shame to be poor
It is a sin to be rich, you know that it's a low-down shame to be poor
You know a rich man ain't got a chance to go to heaven and a poor man got a hard way to go

You know I don't wanna be rich, I just wanna stay between rich and poor
No, I don't wanna be rich, I just wanna live between rich and poor
Yes, when I die you know I wanna go to heaven, that's when Po' Lightnin' will have a chance to go

Gabriel gonna be the next man to blow that trumpet, I wants to be there when he blow (blow, Gabriel)

Whoa, he gonna be the next man blow that trumpet, I wants to be there when po' Gabriel blow
Whoa, that's when the world be off with the people and I can lay there and rest for sure
Everybody!
