I'm a-livin' on the other side of the track it's true.

E                            
But like it or not, I'm just as good as you.

If I see you comin' with your head held so high..

This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime.

Had a million heart-aches but I'm happy all the time.

I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb.

You can talk about your fancy friends and your millionaires.

E                                 
I may not have their money but I don't have their cares.

E                             A             E
You can live in a mansion set upon a golden throne.

But all these things you have in life are gonna vanish when

I'm gone.
