Poor Boy Blues Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

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
