low, we're low,
A
B
E
As low as low can be
A
B
Rich or high, for we make them so
A
B
E
In a miserable lot are we
Down, down we go
Bm
A
We're so very, very low
B
E
To the hell of the deep sunk mines
B
Bm
A
We gather the proudest gems that glow
B
A
B
E
When the crown of a despot shines
A
E
And whenever he laughs upon our backs
A
B
Fresh loads he brings to lay
E
Bm
A
B
We're far too low to vote the tax
A
B
E
But we're not too low to pay
Bm
E
A
B
We're low, we're low, mere rabble we know,
A
B
E
but at our plastic power
Bm
A
The mold at the Lordling's feet
B
A
B
E
will grow into palace, church, and town
A
E
And prostrate fall in a rich man's hall
A
B
And cringe at the rich man's door
E
Bm
A
B
When you're not too low to build the wall
A
B

But too low to tread the floor

we're very, very low
B
A
B
E
Yet from our fingers glide
A
B
robes that glow
A

And what we get and what we give
A
B
We know and we know our share
E
B
Bm
E
A
B
We're not too low the cloth to weep,
A
B
E
but too low the cloth to wear
B
A
B
E
And yet, when the trumpets ring
Bm
A
The thrust of a poor man's arm
B
A
will go through the heart of
B
E
the proudest king
E
Bm
A
B
We're not too low to kill the foe,
A
B
E
but too low to touch the score
A
B
E
as low as low can be
A
B
Rich or high, for we make them so
A
B
E
And a miserable heart, are we
A
E
And a miserable heart, are we
And a miserable heart,
