Poor Boy Lyrics - The Bates

When I was born you know 

I couldn't speak and go 

My mother worked each day 

And she learned me to say 

Mother and father and son 

Sister and uncle are fun 

And she learned me to say 

Life is so hard each day 

Poor boy you must know 

Poor boy the life is a hard road 

Poor boy poor boy you must say 

Life is very hard to stay
