Poor Boy lyrics
by Harold Arlen
[Intro]
Are you ready?
Like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Like a poor boy, I’m a long way from home
What others do, the world can't do me no harm
Like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Well, I can’t stay here long
No, I can't stay here long
What others do, the world can't do me no harm
Like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Oh, oh oh
[Guitar solo]
Well, my baby's dead and gone
Well, my baby's dead and gone, oh, oh oh
What others do, the world can't do me no harm
Oh, like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Oh, hey, yeah
[Guitar solo]
Said my baby’s dead and gone
Said my baby’s dead and gone
Oh, what others do, the world can't do me no harm
Like a poor boy, I’m a long way from home
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Like a poor boy, I'm a long, ooh oooh ooh
Like a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Mmm mmm mmm…
Oh, mmm…
