POOR BOY
Harden Trio

Poor boy couldn't give,
Poor girl didn't want,
So their love for each other grew strong.
They talked it over and soon they were wed
In the little church in town.
Friends gathered 'round
And smiled as their new life began.

Trust in each other
And our love will grow,
Even grow stronger than strong.
I'll buy you a pillow
With these words: "I love you"
To keep till our new life must end.

Poor boy worked hard.
Poor girl grew tired,
So her love grew colder than cold.
She dreamed of riches that he couldn't give
What difference to her
If the poor boy was hurt?
She left him for a rich life to live.

Trust in each other
And our love will grow,
But her love grew colder than cold.
She left him the pillow
With these words: "I love you."
There's hurt in the poor boy untold.
