LIVING m

o.
A boy is born

in hard time
Mississippi
Surrounded by

four walls
that ain't so pretty
His parents give

him love
and affection
To keep him strong

move him in the
right direction
Living just enough

just enough
for the city... ah
His father works

some days
for fourteen hours
And you can bet

he barely makes
a dollar
His mother goes

to scrub the floors
for many
Living just enough
just enough

for the city...
yeah
Doo do-do duo
do-do-do-doo do-do

do do do doo
do-do doo
His sister's black

but she is sure
'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short

but Lord her legs
are sturdy
To walk to school

she's got to
get up early
Living just enough
just enough

for the city...
yeah
Um hum
her brother's smart

he's got more sense
than many
His patience's worn

but soon he won't
have any
To find a job

is like a
haystack needle
Living just enough
just enough

for the city .....
yeah
Doo do-do duo
do-do-do-doo do-do

do do do doo
do-do doo
Doo do-do duo
do-do-do-doo do-do

do do do doo
do-do doo
Just living

for the city...
yeah
Ooh eeh

just living
for the city...
Just living

for the city...
heyr woah
Living for

the city...
