Down In The Boondocks

Down in the boondocks
 Down in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
 I love her and she loves me
 But I don't fit her society
 Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
 Every night I will watch the light from the house upon the hill
 I love a little girl that lives up there, I guess I always will
 But I don't dare knock on her door
 Her daddy is my boss man
 So I'll just have to be content
 To see her whenever I can
 Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
 I love her and she loves me
 But I don't fit her society
 Lord have mercy, on a boy from down in the boondocks (harmony)
 Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
 One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack
 I'll hold my head up like a king - I never, never will look back
 Until that morning I'll work and slave
 And I'll save every dime
 But tonight she'll have to steal away
 To see me one more time
 Down in the boondocks
 Down in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
 I love her and she loves me
 But I don't fit her society
 Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
 Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
 Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
