| Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks | 
| People put me down cause that’s the side of town I was born in | 
| I love her and she loves me but I don’t fit in her society | 
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks | 
| Every night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill | 
| I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will | 
| But I don’t dare knock on her door cause her daddy is my boss man | 
| So I’ll just have to be content and see her whenever I can | 
| Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks | 
| People put me down cause that’s the side of town I was born in | 
| I love her and she loves me but I don’t fit in her society | 
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks | 
| Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks | 
| One fine day, I’ll find a way and move from this old shack | 
| I’ll hold my head up like a king and I’ll never, never will look back | 
| Until that morning I’ll work and slave and I’ll save every dime | 
| But tonight she’ll have to steal away to see me one more time | 
| Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks | 
| People put me down cause that’s the side of town I was born in | 
| I love her and she loves me but I don’t fit in her society | 
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks | 
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks | 
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks |
