Paper Boy

Paper Boy - The Blue Sky Boys

Out on the corner standing so bold

Stood a little paper boy hungry and cold

And as a crowd came passing by

These words he said with tears in his eyes

Please buy a paper from me

So I can get me something to eat

My clothes are ragged no shoes on my feet

Said the little paper boy there on the street

Out in this cold wide world all alone

I have no place on this Earth to call home

I haven't had the chance other boys had

I have no mother nor either a dad

Please buy a paper from me

So I can get me something to eat

My clothes are ragged no shoes on my feet

Said the little paper boy there on the street

Early next morning as the crowd passed by

The little boy was gone and they wondered why

They started searching and then found him dead

He died with the papers under his head

No one was there his body to claim

There he was lying but he felt no pain

Now he has gone up to Heaven we know

The little paper boy who died in the snow

Please buy a paper from me

So I can get me something to eat

My clothes are ragged no shoes on my feet

Said the little paper boy there on the street
