Lyrics

I'm a poor boy, people
I'm a long way from home
I'm a poor boy, people
I'm a long way from home
Well, don't you mistreat me
Please don't do me wrong
Some people ask me
What does a poor boy do?
Well, some people ask me
What does a poor boy do?
Poor boy wears rags for clothes
Stuffs newspapers in his shoe
I'm a poor boy, people
I'm a long way from home
I'm a poor boy, people
I'm a long way from home
I got no spare money in my pocket
No spare meat on my bone
Some people ask me
What does a poor boy do?
Some people ask me
Tell me, what does a poor boy do?
Poor boy wears rags for clothes
Stuffs newspapers in his shoe
Poor boy
I'm a long way from home
Well, I'm a poor boy
People, I'm a long way from home
Got no spare money in my pocket
No spare meat on my bone
