Welfare workers
Prying into her life
Was she really someone's wife
And where was he

She often cried as they left her without a shred of pride

She had so many things to think about
So many children to feed
She had need of something that would ease her mind
(Store front religion play the numbers)
She had trouble in her time
She had so much trouble in her time
