Lyrics for Poor Boy

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue 'Cause I could never be a poor boy As long as I've got a dolly like you Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent I got a heart full of dreams And a lot of memories And that's enough for me They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue 'Cause I could never be a poor boy As long as I've got a dolly like you Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot Ain't got a bean, I ain't got a pot But what I got is a heart full of Love and memories And that's enough for me They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue 'Cause I could never be a poor boy As long as I've got a dolly like you Don't have a pig, don't have a cow I don't have a horse to pull a plow But what I got is a heartfull of Love and memories And that's enough for me They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue 'Cause I could never be a poor boy As long as I've got a dolly like you I got a dolly like I've got a dolly like you
