Lyrics

A Penny for the Poor Man?s Dream


A penny in your pocket
A penny for a dream
Here is a penny for the poor man?s dream

A penny in your pocket
A penny for a dream
Here is a penny for the poor man?s dream

Of faith and hope and charity
The greatest of these is charity
When there?s nothing left to give to thee
The earth will claim what is left of me

Thank God Almighty
For the things that you have
The love in my heart
And the Bible in my hand

And if God Almighty
Doesn?t take you very far
Here is a penny
In the poor man?s jar

The sky is rumbling, looks like rain
Winter is closing in again
When winter comes, the earth?s asleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

CHORUS

Sweet Mother of God, and all the saints
I can feel my spirit at the gates
No matter what I do, no matter what I say
I winnow and wine on a poor man?s pay

CHORUS

A penny in your pocket
A penny for a dream
Here is a penny for the poor man?s dream

A penny in your pocket
A penny for a dream
Here is a penny for the poor man?s dream
