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.
When I was born you know
I couldn't speak and go
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle are fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day
Poor boy you must know
Poor boy the life is a hard road
Poor boy poor boy you must say
Life is very hard to stay
