JVZ Lyr Req: Life of a Poor Boy (Stonewall Jackson) (11) Lyrics to Poor Boy 08 Jun 98


Back in the early 60s, I remember hearing a song on the radio which praised the American small farmer. It was a lively tune and the lyrics that I remember are from the chorus:

Poor boy, Ain't got no money, Poor boy, Ain't got no dough! But give that poor boy a pretty little girl, And look at that poor boy go. He's the backbone of the nation, The pappy of the land, With a ??? ??? ??? and a two dollar loan, He raised him a poor boy clan.

I would appreciate any additional lyrics (or corrections to the ones I have). Thank you.
