Mr. President - The Marshall Tucker Band

We’ve taken all you’ve given

But it’s gettin' hard to make a livin'

Mr. President have pity on the working man

We’re not asking you to love us

You may place yourself high above us

Mr. President have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny

But people ev’ry where are runnin' out of money

We just can’t make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing

We need something to keep us gong

Mr. President have pity on the working man

Maybe you’ve cheated, maybe you’ve lied

Maybe you have lost your mind

Maybe you’re only thinking 'bout yourself

Too late to run, too late to cry now

The time has come for us to say goodbye now

Mr. President have pity on the working man

Mr. President have pity on the working man
