They come in their summery dress and jackets so fine
Rich folks who
measure success with a big dollar sign
They gaze with delight at the rocks and the scraggly
pine
They come in the spring and they stay til the fall
On Paradise Mountain, away from it
all
Stubble and stone make a hard row to hoe
What little will grow the drought
will kill
The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain
We call it Poverty
Hill
They say we have beautiful faces as grainy as wood
Yeah, they'd like to live
here, of all places,
if only they could
Well we don't get these wood grainy faces from
living too good
Its the rocks and the dust and the sun and the heat
Its too much work and
too little to eat
They pack and they say what a pity that they have to go
They say that
Old Smoky's so pretty all covered with snow
But how we get thru the winter they never will
know
No lard for the pantry, no grist for the mill
And winter's are hard over Poverty
Hill
