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