Oh Lord I'm just a poor man
But I've worked like a slave
I may not know what pleased me
Until I'm in my grave
I've lived without a lot of things
I've only got one plea
When I've work my last day, Lord
Save a little place for me

All of my life I've worked so hard
I've never had the best
You sent your love to give me strength
So I've got by on less
So save your best for all the rest
Your love is all I need
In the corner of your heavеn, Lord
Save a little place for mе

It's true I've worked this poor land
Faced the hardships with a smile
'Cause it's been worth each tired night
Just to feed my wife and child
I'd gladly die a pauper Lord
To reach eternity
To find out up in heaven, Lord
There's a little place for me
All of my life I've worked so hard
I've never had the best
You sent your love to give me strength
So I've got by on less
So save your best for all the rest
Your love is all I need
In the corner of your heaven, Lord
Save a little place for me
