Lyrics Over the Hills to the Poorhouse - Earl Scruggs , Lester Flatt
Over
The
Hill
To
The
Poor
House
1.
Oh
how
can
it
be
they
have
driven
Their
father
so
helpless
and
old
Oh
God
may
their
crimes
be
forgiven
To
perish
out
here
in
the
cold
Chorus:
I'm
old
I'm
helpless
and
feeble
And
the
days
of
my
youth
have
gone
by
And
it's
over
the
hill
to
the
poor
house
I
must
wander
alone
there
to
die
2.
Long
years
since
Mary
was
taken
My
faithful
affectionate
wife
Since
then
I've
been
alone
and
forsaken
The
light
has
died
out
of
my
life
Chorus:
3.
I
gave
them
the
house
they
were
born
in
A
deed
to
the
farm
and
more
I
gave
them
the
place
that
they
lived
on
And
now
I
am
turned
from
its
door
4.
Oh
me
on
the
doorstep
up
yonder
I've
set
with
my
babe's
on
my
knee
No
father
so
happy
or
fonder
Than
I
of
my
little
ones
