Oh, poor foolish man. You led me astray. You emptied my pan. But the price is yours to pay. You could've robbed the rich You could've stole the earth But you only took a pinch Of a man as poor as dirt. And I've learned a lesson Less costly to a lord You could've had a session With a large and princely horde. I have taken pity From those who give sympathy And share with me their charity While regarding you in antipathy.

Poor man's fool
