Story behind the song

It's a classic...sometimes you just want to carry the banner and do your own version...following in the footsteps of the greats...

Lyrics

Poor Boy..traditional

Poor boy he was a travellin’,
He strayed and he wandered all around.
Poor boy now he got so hungry,
He didn’t even have nowhere’s to go.

Poor boy wherever he go, 
People turn him down. 
He says that the rocks were his pillow, Hmm
The cold earth will be his resting ground.
[Break]

Poor boy’s mother came to see him,
Poison and sin all abound.
And when she looked and she’d seen him,
Oh how she wept screamin’ and cryin’.

Oh she said good bye,
Your mother got to leave you now.
She said you be a good boy,
And you’ll be home bye and bye.
