Life Of A Poor Boy Lyrics
Life Of A Poor Boy - Stonewall Jackson
When I Was Just A Youngster
And Hardly In My Teens
I Went To School On Many
A Day With Faded Old Blue Jeans
The Patches They Were Many
The Seat Was All Thread Bare
But A Poor Girl Didn't Notice
And A Poor Boy Didn't Care
A Poor Boy Don't Have No Money
A Poor Boy Don't Have No Dough
Give A Poor Boy A Pretty Little Girl
And Watch That Poor Boy Go
He's The Backbone Of The Nation
The Pappy Of The Land
With A Two Buck Loan He'll Build Him A Home
And Raise Him A Poor Boy Clan
His Worries They Are Many
His Pleasures Are But Few
But That Don't Worry
A Poor Boy His Pappy Had 'Em Too
His Livin' Don't Come Easy
He Has To Sweat It Out
But He'd Rather Be A Poor Boy
Than A Wealty Gad-a-bout
If It Wasn't For The Poor Boy
A Lot Would Go Un-done
The Plough Would Never Furrow
Or The Mill Would Never Run
There Wouldn't Be No Taters
There Wouldn't Be No Beans
The Rich Would All Be Poor Boys
In Faded Old Blue Jeans
