Lonely Boy |
He was born on a summer day nineteen sixty-one |
And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son |
Mother and father said what a lovely boy |
We’ll teach him what we learned |
Oh yes, just what we learned |
We’ll dress him up warmly and we’ll send him to school |
It’ll teach him how to fight and be nobody’s fool |
Oh, oh what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
In the summer of sixty-three his mother brought him a sister |
And she told him we must attend to her needs |
She’s so much younger that you |
Well he ran down the hall and he cried |
Oh how, could his parents have lied |
When they said he was the only son |
He thought he was the only one |
Oh, oh what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
He left home on a winter day nineteen and seventy-nine |
And he hoped to find all the love |
He had lost in that earlier time |
Well his sister grew up and she married a man |
She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son |
They dressed him up warmly |
They sent him to school |
It taught him how to fight and be nobody’s fool |
Oh, oh what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
Oh, oh what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy |
Oh, what a lonely boy… |
