Karaoké Down In The Boondocks Billy Joe Royal

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down

'Cos that's the side of town

I was born in

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 light from the house up on 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 'cos her daddy is my boss man so I'll just have to be content

To see her whenever I can

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cos that's the side of town

I was born in

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

One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack

I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back

Until that mornin'

I'll work and slave and I'll save every dime

But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cos that's the side of town

I was born in

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

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
