Lyrics:
This is called "Poor Boy" Me and a poor boy was travelling Travelling a long way from home Me and poor boy got pulled off Got pulled off and prison-bound My dear mother, she got worried When we was down, out on that farm My mother, she called that farmer And they told her I was in prison bound My dear mother got on the phone She called down that little farm My mother talked to the sergeant He would not have mercy out on me Well this sergeant told dear mother He would take two hundred dollar bills We didn't have no one To call out and throw us out on bail Poor boy, he got all worried Come walking to a great big town I said, poor boy, don't worry Our mother get us out of prison bound Well, this sergeant told dear mother He would take two hundred dollar bills We didn't have no one To come and get us out on bail Oh, my mother she got worried She couldn't get them two hundred dollar bills So, one Sunday morning My mother, she drove to the farm When the sergeant met my mother Drove on up to her at the gate My mother, she told the sergeant She didn't have no two hundred dollar bills Well, my mother, she kneeled down My mother kneeled down upon her knee Oh, my mother pleads the seargeant Would he please, sir, have some mercy on me? My dear mother, she been crying Told the seargeant, then she broke down He said, these boys promised They will not hobo on my train I said, listen, brother poor boy Don't be worried and crying Somebody, somebody somewhere Gonna get us out of prison bound Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
