cause that's the side of town
I love her and she loves me,
I don't mix with her society
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
Every night I would watch the light
from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there
and I guess I always will
I don't care if I'm on the door
cause the daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
And see you whenever I can
La quiero yo y me quiere a mí
Pero no quieren que sea así
One fine day I'll find a way
To leave from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king
And I never will look back
But tonight she'll have to steal away
La quiero yo y me quiere a mí
Pero no quieren que sea así
Cause that's the side of town
But I don't fit the society
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
