The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm a poor boy: I'm a long way from home

I'm a poor boy: Ain't got nowhere to go

Ain't got nowhere: To lay my worried head

Sometime: I'd sooner to be dead

Please tell me: What you going to do

I left my brown: Standing in the door

What you reckon she said: You're not obliged to go

I'm a poor boy: Stood on the road and cried

I didn't have no blues: Just couldn't be satisfied

Now give me: Long‑distance phone

I want to hear: From my sweet mama back home

I said to her: Ring six four nine

I want to hear: From that bobcat gal of mine
