Down in the Boondcocks |
| 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 |
| Now, every night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill |
| Well, 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 |
| Take a trip on down in the boondocks |
| Take a ride on down in the boondocks |
| People put me down 'cause that’s the side of town I was born in |
| See, I love her and she loves me |
| But I don’t fit her society |
| Lord have mercy, I’m a boy from down in the boondocks |
| One fine day I’ll find a way and move from this old shack |
| Well, I’ll hold my head up like a king and I’ll never, never will look back |
| 'Til 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 |
| Get together, darling, down in the boondocks |
| Making love, darling, 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 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 |
