Little Paper Boy Lyrics - Hank Williams

Out on the corner standin' so bold 

Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold 

And as the crowd came passin' by 

These words he said with tears in his eyes 

"Please buy a paper from me 

So I can get me somethin' to eat 

My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet" 

Said the little paper boy, there on the street 

"Out in this cold wide world all alone 

I have no place on this earth to call home 

I haven't had the chance that other kids had 

I have no mother, nor even a dad"

"So please buy a paper from me 

So I can get me somethin' to eat 

My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet" 

Said the little paper boy, there on the street 

Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by 

The little boy was gone and they wondered why 

They started searchin' and then found him dead 

He died with the papers under his head 

Photos 

No one was there, his body to claim 

There he was lying but he felt no pain 

Now he has gone up to Heaven we know 

The little paper boy who died in the snow 

There ya have it, friends
