Eddy Arnold Poor Boy Lyrics

Poor Boy Lyrics

Poor boy poor boy look straight ahead

Good times are coming it has been said

Poor boy poor boy do not lose faith

Go right on loving the human race



Born in an old shack on a very cold day

My mother had to work on the following day

Destination poverty very little school

She taught me to respect the golden rule



Poor boy poor boy look straight ahead...



Life has been a struggle moving all the time

Hanging on a piece of thread this world of mine

You mustn't go on living in such regret

What's to be is done you must forget



Poor boy poor boy look straight ahead...

Go right on loving their human race
