And she taught me to say
Mother and son
Father and son
Sister and uncle are fun
And they taught me to say

Poor boy, the life is a hard road
Poor boy, poor boy, you must stay
Life is very hard to stay
When I was born, you know
I couldn't speak, I couldn't speak and go
My mother worked each day
And she taught me to say
Life is so hard to stay
And she taught me to say
Life is so hard to stay





Life is very hard to stay
Poor boy, you must know
You know, know, know and you know
Poor boy, and you must know
You know, know, know and you know
Poor boy, you must know
Poor boy, the life is a hard road
Poor boy, poor boy, you must stay
Life is so very hard to stay
Poor boy, you must know
Poor boy, the life is a hard road
Poor boy, the forgot ways
And you must know
you
