Poor Boy Lyrics

Never sing for my supper I never help my neighbor Never do what is proper For my share of labor
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 from 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 worn down heels Nobody's eyes make the skies Nobody spreads 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 are my knees Nobody cares how steep my stairs And nobody smiles if you 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 So worried for his health
