"Charity Does Not Begin At Home"
2008 B.G.Matthews

Charity does not begin at home -
it starts out somewhere else now doncha know.
Charity is what some people need to live -
who to and when and how much do you have to give.
(have to give) (charity) (have to give) (charity) - (Charity)

When strolling down the walk do you put coins in the beggars cup?
Do you look straight ahead, sideways or down or maybe up?
If I got extra I often try to give some they can use.
Wish it didnt matter but with it, they're probably buying booze.

(with my) Charity

Charity is such a tricky thing -
it plays on the emotions of a human being.
Charity is not just for the rich to do -
ordinary people they can do it too.
(do it too) (charity) (do it too) (charity) - (Charity)

It's really a good feeling when you can help somebody out. (Tho')
sometimes you may wonder about a donation and you might be having doubt.
Some places I've heard the management has misused most the dough.
Be careful when they solicit you and make sure that you know.

('bout your) Charity

Charity don't have to be money -
it's the giving of your self, your time, your energy.
Charity can be a whole lotsa different stuff -
but when does one decide that one's done enough.
(done enough) (charity) (done enough) (charity) - (Charity)

I've given to some people and some places all my life.
I think it just might just be my turn just to taste a little bite.
Aint got much money or myself to give away much anymore.
Might be bad karma to think it that way - but dangit I'm poor.

(where's my) Charity?

Charity does not begin at home -
it starts out somewhere else now doncha know.
