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.

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...
