I’m a Poor Boy Songtext
von Faron Young

I said hey
Lord, I′m a poor, poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I'm just a poor boy lookin′ for fun

Well, I've been around this whole wide world
There's nothin′ I ain′t done
I've gone with lots of pretty gals
I′ve had a lot of fun
But they always mention diamond rings
And wanna tie the knot
But you can't raise a wife on nothin′
And nothin' is all I′ve got


I said hey
Lord, I'm a poor, poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I'm just a poor boy lookin′ for fun

Well, my reputation ain′t the best
But my heart is never blue
I got no income tax to pay
No worries boy like you
I've got no one to tie me down
Every day′s my lucky day
If you wanna be happy just like me
Heed what I have to say

I said hey
Mhm, Lord, I'm a poor, poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I′m just a poor boy lookin' for fun

I said hey
Lord, I′m a poor, poor boy
