Poor boy
Never sing for my supper I never help my
neighbour Never do what is proper For my share of
labour.
I'm a poor boy And I'm a rover Count your coins
and Throw them over my shoulder I may grow older Nobody
knows How cold it grows And nobody sees How shaky my
knees Nobody cares How steep my stairs And nobody smiles If
I cross their stiles.
Oh poor boy So sorry for himself Oh
poor boy So worried for his health. You may say every day Where
will he stay tonight.
Never know what I came for Seems that
I've forgotten Never ask what I came for Or how I was
begotten.
I'm a poor boy And I'm a ranger Things I
say May seem stranger than Sunday Changing to Monday. Nobody
knows How cold it flows And nobody feels The worn down
heels Nobody's eyes Make the skies Nobody spreads Their
aching heads.
Oh poor boy So worried for his life Oh poor
boy So keen to take a wife.
He's a mess but he'll say
yes If you just dress in white.
Nobody knows How cold it
blows And nobody sees How shaky my knees Nobody cares How
steep my stairs And nobody smiles If you cross their
stiles.
Oh poor boy So sorry for himself Oh poor boy So
worried for his health. You may say every day Where will he stay
tonight.
Oh poor boy So worried for his life Oh poor
boy So keen to take a wife.
Oh poor boy So sorry for
himself Oh poor boy So worried for his health Oh poor
boy.
