They come in their summery dresses and jackets so fine,
C Bmthe rich folks who measure success with a big dollar sign.
C BmThey gaze with delight at the rocks and the scraggly pines.
They come in the Spring and they stay 'til the Fall
C Bm DOn Paradise Mountain away from it all.
Chorus
C D C D
Stubble and stone make a hard row to hoe.
What little will grow, the drought will kill.
C DThe summer folks call it Paradise Mountain
C Dbut we call it Poverty Hill.
C Bm
They say we have beautiful faces as grainy as wood.
And, they'd like to live here of all places if only they could.
C BmWell, we don't get these wood, grainy faces from livin' too good.
C BmIt's the rocks and the sun and dust and the heat.
It's too much of work and too little to eat.
C Bm
They pack and say what a pity that they have to go.
C BmThey say that Old Smokey's so pretty all covered with snow,
But how we get through the winter they never will know.
C BmNo lard for the pantry. No grist for the meal
C Bm DAnd winter's are cold over Poverty Hill.
(Chorus)C D
Yes, we call it Poverty Hill.
