Barefoot Boy |
Oh, barefoot boy |
Once he came unto a land of forests |
And of streams |
That tumbled through the meadows to the sea |
He called it home for many were its wonders |
And he learned to live upon the land |
Taking only what he needed |
Barefoot boy |
He don’t like the concrete |
Seek the country any way he can |
Barefoot boy |
He’s fading down your street |
I know he’ll never come this way again |
And time passes on |
In this life of always changing |
People coming |
Building cities |
Cut your forest |
Pave your highway |
Oh barefoot boy |
Wraps his blanket 'round his shoulders |
Says goodbye to misty valleys |
Once more he sets off to wander |
