Poor Boy
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.
Well it's a poor boy, a poor boy
It's a poor boy who lost his mama
It's a poor boy who lost his father
It's a poor boy who lost all his friends
And it's a poor boy who lost his woman
It's a poor boy
It's a poor boy who lost everything he ever had
