Lonely Boy Lyrics - Blackhawk

He was born on a summer day 

Nineteen sixty-one 

And with the slap of a hand 

He had landed as an only son 

Mother and father said, What a lovely boy 

Well, teach him what we learned, oh yes, just what we learned 

Well dress him up warmly and well send him to school 

It'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's fool 

Oh, oh what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

In the summer of sixty-three 

His mother brought him a sister 

And she told him we must attend to her needs 

She's so much younger that you 

Well, he ran down the hall and he cried 

Oh how could his parents have lied 

When they said, he was the only son? 

He thought, he was the only one 

Oh, oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

He left home on a winter day 

Nineteen seventy-nine 

And he hoped to find all the love he had 

Lost in that earlier time 

Well, his sister grew up and she married a man 

She gave him a son, oh yes, a lovely son 

They dressed him up warmly, they sent him to school 

It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool 

Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
