Poor Boy Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Poor boy poor boy look straight ahead 

Good times are coming it has been said 

Poor boy poor boy do not lose faith 

Go right on loving the human race 

Born in an old shack on a very cold day 

My mother had to work on the following day 

Destination poverty very little school 

She taught me to respect the golden rule 

Poor boy poor boy look straight ahead... 

Life has been a struggle moving all the time 

Hanging on a piece of thread this world of mine 

You mustn't go on living in such regret 

What's to be is done you must forget
