Down in the Boondocks Songtext
von Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas

Down in the boondock
Down in the boondock
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 with her society
So Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondock

Every night I watch the light
From a house up on the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there
And I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my bossman
So I′ll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can


Down in the boondock
Down in the boondock
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 with her society
So Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondock

One fine day I'll find a way
To move from this old shack
I′ll hold my head up like a king
And I never, never will look back
Until that day I'll work and slave
And I′ll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me just one more time

Down in the boondock
Down in the boondock
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 with her society
So Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondock


So Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondock
So Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondock
