Poor Boy |
| Never sing for my supper |
| I never help my neighbour |
| Never do what is proper |
| For my fair 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 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 |
| (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) |
