Lyrics Down In The Boondocks

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down
'Cos that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Every night I watch the light from the 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 'cos her daddy is my boss man so I'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cos that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
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 mornin'
I'll work and slave and I'll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cos that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
