Peter, Paul & Mary - Rich Man Poor Man Lyrics
I need a bride, but the dolphins are runninA woman whod cry, but the sea must provide.A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin;First things first when you get to the sea.A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.I need a home, but my boots keep goinHealing and peace that a fire could provide.A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow;First things first when you get to the fire.A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.I need a song, but the spring is for sowingA word to the wise that the earth must provide.A tune to untangle the riddle of growing;First things first when you get to the land.A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.I need the moon, but the landlord needs moneyA field of wildflowers that the stars could provide.A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow;First things first when you get to the sky.A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.
