Just Another Poor Boy Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

He was but a traveller on the lonely road of life 

She, her name was Mary, A lady of the night 

She found him lying in that road, on a winter's night so cold, 

Just another poor boy, treat him right 

She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat 

She knew that he was weary an he had no place to sleep 

She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head 

And washed away the world from his hands and his knees 

He was just another poor boy, Just another poor boy 

When he cried out in his sleep she held him tight 

Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy 

And she gave him love and comfort throught the night 

Till the morning light .

At night she sat beside him, by the fire they would talk 

He said all men were brothers and that love could conquer all 

Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear 

In troubled times like these men seldom talk 

Oh they came for him one morning at the breaking of the day 

She woke to to hear him calling as they carried him away 

Accusing him of spreading lies and hate, 

His public meetings were a danger to the state 

Some soldier said " Who was he anyway?" 

Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy 

And the tears were falling from her face like rain 

Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy 

And they hung him on a hillside far away 

And on the ground she lay ...Poor boy... Oh, my Lord... 

Oh my Lord ... Oh my Lord...

And the tears were falling from her face like rain

And the hung him on a hillside far away, just another poor boy

And she'd never dreamed she'd see his face again .
