Leroy Van Dyke - Poor Boy lyrics

rate me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue

'Cause I could never be a poor boy

As long as I've got a dolly like you

Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent

Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent

I got a heartfull of dreams

And a lot of memories

And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue

'Cause I could never be a poor boy

As long as I've got a dolly like you

Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot

Ain't got a bean, I ain't got a pot

But what I got is a heartfull of

Love and memories

And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue

'Cause I could never be a poor boy

As long as I've got a dolly like you

Ain't got a pig, ain't got a cow

Ain't got a mule to pull a plow

But what I got is a heartfull of

Love and memories

And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue

'Cause I could never be a poor boy

As long as I've got a dolly like you
