'Father Christmas' by The Kinks

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

[Michael.SF.]

Someone mentioned Johnny Cash, many songs from him would be appropriate. I will start it off with this one:

Sunday Morning Coming Down -- Johnn Cash (written by Kris Kristofferson)

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

[Fresh Wind]

LOL! The Kinks were great!

Feed the poor

Loretta Lynn. — “Coal Miner’s Daughter”

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uEeR576KyjU

Well, I was born a coal miner’s daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That’s the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man’s dollar

[T.B. Yoits]

'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
