3.Down in the Boondocks
作词：Joe South
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Every night, I watch the light from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always
will
But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause her daddy is my boss
man
So I have to try to be content
To see her when ever I can
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
One fine day, I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never, never will look
back
Until that morning I'll work and slave and I'll save every dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away to see me one more time
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me, but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
