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...
[ fiddle - steel ]
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...
