The song I Pity the Poor Immigrant is performed by Bob Dylan in the album named The Collection, Vol. 4: Nashville Skyline/New Morning/John Wesley Harding in the year 2005 .
I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would've stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who pa*sionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death
I pity the poor immigrant
Whose strength is spent in vain
Whose heaven is like Ironsides
Whose tears are like rain
Who eats but is not satisfied
Who hears but does not see
Who falls in love with wealth itself
And turns his back on me
I pity the poor immigrant
Who tramples through the mud
Who fills his mouth with laughing
And who builds his town with blood
Whose visions in the final end
Must shatter like the gla*s
I pity the poor immigrant
When his gladness comes to pa*s
