EFour and twenty yE6ears ago,
I Ecome into this E6life
The Esong of a wE6oman,
And a Eman who lived in sE6trife
He was Gtired oAf being poEor;E6
And he Gwasn't into sAelling door to dEoor
And he Gworked like the dAevil to be mEore
E A E A E
A Edifferent kind of pE6overty
ENow upsets meE6 so
ENight after sE6leepless night,
I Ewalk the floor and I wE6ant to know;
GWhy Aam I sEo alone ?E6
GWhere is my wAoman, can I brEing her home ?
GHave I driven her awAay ? Is she Egone ?
E A E A E
EMorning comes to sE6unrise,
And I'm dEriven to my bE6ed
I Esee that it is eE6mpty,
And there's dEevils in my hE6ead
I emGbrace tAhe many coElored beast,E6
I grow Gweary of the tAorment; Can there be Eno peace ?
And I Gfind myself just wAishing that my lifEe would soon decease
