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...
[ fiddle - steel ]
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...
