Life Of A Poor Boy

Stonewall Jackson

Key = A

Intro: A - D - E7 - A - A

A D A E7

When I Was Just A Youngster And Hardly In My Teens

A D E7 A

I Went To School On Many A Day With Faded Old Blue Jeans

A D A E7

The Patches They Were Many The Seat Was All Thread Bare

A D E7 A

But A Poor Girl Didn't Notice And A Poor Boy Didn't Care

Chorus:

A D E7 A

A Poor Boy Don't Have No Money A Poor Boy Don't Have No Dough

D A E7

Give A Poor Boy A Pretty Little Girl And Watch That Poor Boy Go

A D A E7

He's The Backbone Of The Nation The Pappy Of The Land

A D

With A Two Buck Loan He'll Build Him A Home

E7 A

And Raise Him A Poor Boy Clan

Instrumental Break: A - E - E7 - A - A

A D A E7

His Worries They Are Many His Pleasures Are But Few

A D E7 A

But That Don't Worry A Poor Boy His Pappy Had 'Em Too

A D A A

His Livin' Don't Come Easy He Has To Sweat It Out

A D E7 A

But He'd Rather Be A Poor Boy Than A Wealty Gad-a-bout

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break: Bb - Bb - A - A

A D A E7

If It Wasn't For The Poor Boy A Lot Would Go Un-done

A D E7 A

The Plough Would Never Furrow Or The Mill Would Never Run

A D A E7

There Wouldn't Be No Taters There Wouldn't Be No Beans

A D E7 A

The Rich Would All Be Poor Boys In Faded Old Blue Jeans

Repeat Chorus
