I'm a Poor Boy
(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy - Faron Young)
I said, hey, 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 looking for fun.
Well, I've been around this whole wide world
There's nothing I ain't done
I phoned with lots of pretty gals
I've had a lotta fun.
But they always mentioned diomond rings
And wanna tie the knot
But you can't raise a wife on nothing
And nothing is all I've got.
I said, hey, 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 looking for fun.
--- Instrumental ---
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
Hear what I have to say.
I said, hey, 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 looking for fun...
I said, hey, 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 looking for fun.
Well, I've been around this whole wide world
There's nothing I ain't done
I phoned with lots of pretty gals
I've had a lotta fun.
But they always mentioned diomond rings
And wanna tie the knot
But you can't raise a wife on nothing
And nothing is all I've got.
I said, hey, 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 looking for fun.

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 looking for fun...
