    Does anyone have the lyrics to "Poor White Folks" ? An internet search has only located an instrumental version on the Uncle Penn album. Bill does one verse on his instructional CD, but that is all I can find...any help would be appreciated. #

    Apparently, this is an instrumental tune.

    he sings one verse on the bill monroe homespun dvd. I think its something like "poor white folks ain't treatin' me right. Ain't gonna get no supper tonight. I'm gettin' mad now I am gonna fight,poor white folks ain't treatin me right. "

    I have the DVD so that's the only verse i have...one of my buddies over here in Angola (country, not the prison) #is going home and he really likes the tune, so i was trying to find more lyrics so we could work it up for his going away party. Thanks for the replies
