The Barclay James Harvest - Poor Boy Blues lyrics

It's easy to see a poor boy's blues

When he's working every day

It's harder to be there in his shoes

He was born to be that way

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving

Would you understand the reason why?

A poor boy works hard for his living

But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you

We had some laughs along the way

But I have to be leaving

And there's nothing you can do to make me stay

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving

Would you understand the reason why?

A poor boy works hard for his living

But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you

We had some laughs along the way

But I have to be leaving

And there's nothing you can do to make me stay
