And the title issss.....: "How Can A Poor Man Face Such Times And Live?" It's by Alfred Reed. I know it from David Lindley (who else) and Hani Naser. Got the feeling it's a very old song too. I'll see what comes up. Yo!

I've got the song on a Mick Abrahams CD, but it's credited to A. Alexander. No lyrics tho, sorry.

I meant to mention that, if 'How can a poor man' is the only song by Reed that you want, you can find it also on the marvellous recent release: Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music Vol 4 Revenant RVN 211.
