I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?
By Blind Alfred Reed
Rise Up Singing chapter: Rich and Poor, p.181
Chords:
D A D - / - - A - / D - G D / - A D -
There was once a time when everything was cheap
But now prices nearly put a man to sleep
When we pay our grocery bill we just a-feel like making our will
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
