Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
The world can't do me no—
[Instrumental]
Babe, I can't stay here long
No, no, no, no
World can't do me no harm
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
World can't do me no—
[Instrumental]
My baby, she's dead and gone
[Instrumental]
My baby, she's dead and gone
The world can't do me no—
[Instrumental]
World can't do me no harm
[Outro]
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
World can't do me no—
