We usually judge a man
By the clothes he wears
Or the car he's ridin' in
And you can usually tell
If he's doin' very well
By the house he's livin' in
But I am here to say
That it don't work that way
With everybody I know
Because I just got acquainted
With some poor rich folks
A little while ago

I'm a poor rich man
Oh, I'm a poor rich man
For you see
It really happened to me
I'm a millionaire
Well, I know that I am poor
But I have a lot more
Than many rich folks that I know
I've got a Home in the sky
That money can't buy
And I'm a poor rich man

Well, when a man is rich
With this world's goods
He's usually got a lot of friends
You know, they all want to try
To livе so high
Even though they know that it's a sin
But if I could
I don't beliеve I would
Want the riches of this old world
'Cause when it's time to go
I'll be glad to know
That I, I'm a poor, poor rich man
Well, I'm a poor rich man
Oh, I'm a poor rich man
For you see
It really happened to me
I'm a millionaire
Well, I know that I am poor
But I have a lot more
Than many rich folks that I know
I've got a Home in the sky
That money can't buy
And I'm a poor rich man

Well, I'm a poor rich man
Oh, I'm a poor rich man
For you see
It really happened to me
I'm a millionaire
Well, I know that I am poor
But I have a lot more
Than many rich folks that I know
I've got a Home in the sky
That money can't buy
And I'm a poor rich man
I've got a Home in the sky
That money can't buy
And I'm a poor rich man
