The Wolf is at the Door
key=A bpm=240
All my life I’ve been so poor, I don’t know what to do
I go from sunup to sundown, my work is never through
my children don't go out to play, like they used to before
and the chickens are too scared to lay, cause the wolf is at the door
Chorus:
[Hey, hey, hey, he's trying to get in ]
[He’s scratching and a' puffing, and he has that hungry grin ]
[I’m too hard up to own a dog, of buy a fourty-four ]
[so I’ll just pray to the Lord above, while the wolf is at the door ]
The land lord comes around a week before the rent is due
I haven't paid my taxes yet, to the Internal Revenue
My wife just borrowed sugar, from the neighbor's wife, next door
We have no heat, and the lights are out, and the wolf is at the door
CHorus
He almost got Red Riding Hood and now he's after me
and the walls are getting weaker in this house of poverty
I just peeped thru the keyhole, and saw anoter eye
the only thing can help me now is M-O-N-E-Y
CHorus

TAG: I’ll just pray to the Lord above while the wolf is at the door
