歌词
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
People put me down, 'cause that's the side of town that I was born in
But I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Every night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door, 'cause her daddy is my boss man
So just I have to be content to see her whenever I can
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
People put me down,
'cause that's the side of town that I was born in, yeah
But I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks, yes
One fine day I'm gonna find a way to move from this old shack
I'm gonna hold my head up like a
king and I never, never will look back
Until that morn I'll work and slave, and I'll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me just one more time
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
People put me down,
'cause that's the side of town that I was born in, yeah
But I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks, yeah eh eh
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
