Poor Immigrant Songtext
von Jimmy Riley

Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
They have to work so hard
Almost ′round the clock
The pace is so fast
No time to relax
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
Some say that it not worth it
If they didn't know, they just wouldn′t go
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
Some of them have to hide
Didn't get no visa to be on that side
Some say that it not worth it
If they didn't know, they just wouldn′t go
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants


Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
They have to work so hard
Almost ′round the clock
The pace is so fast
No time to relax
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
Some say that it not worth it
If they didn't know, they just wouldn′t go
No stories they were told
Can't find those streets of gold
Poor immigrants, have mercy on the poor immigrants
Poor immigrants, have pity on the poor immigrants
Some say that it not worth it
Didn′t get no visa to be on that side
