Down In The Boondocks (LP版) - Ry Cooder (雷·庫德)

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down

'Cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me

But I don't fit in her society

Lord have mercy

I'm a boy from down in the boondocks

Now every night I watch the lights

From the house upon the hill

Well I love a little girl who lives up there

And I guess I always will

But I don't dare knock on her door

'Cause her daddy is my boss man

So I'll just have to be content

And see her whenever I can

Take a trip on down in the boondocks

Take a ride on down in the boondocks

People put me down

'Cause that's the side of town I was born in

See I love her and she loves me

But I don't fit her society

Lord have mercy

I'm a boy from down in the boondocks

One fine day I'll find a way

And move from this old shack

Well I'll hold my head up like a king

And I'll never never will look back

'Til that morning I'll work and slave

And I'll save every dime

But tonight she'll have to steal away

To see me one more time

Get together darling down in the boondocks

Making love darling down in the boondocks

People put me down

'Cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me

But I don't fit her society

Lord have mercy

I'm a boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down

'Cause that's the side of town I was born in
