I know you want more, but here's all I have found:
Out on the corner, standing so bold,
stood a little paperboy, so ragged and cold.
Perhaps that helps someone to remember more.

Click here for a site with all sorts of Hank Williams lyrics and information - but no "Little Paper Boy." I'll send a message to our resident anonymous Hank Williams expert. If he can't come through for you, nobody can.

Sounds about like this to me...

THE LITTLE PAPER BOY
Recorded by: Hank Williams, Sr.
Written by: Johnny Wright & Jack Anglin

[1]=C/[5]=G

[1] Out on the corner [5] standin' so bold
The Little Paper Boy, so hungry and [1] cold
And as the crowd [5] came passin' by
These words he said, with tears in his [1] eyes.

CHORUS
[1] Please buy a [5] paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to [1] eat
My clothes are ragged, no [5] shoes on my feet
Said the Little Paper Boy, there on the [1] street.

Out in this cold, wide world all alone
I have no place on this earth to call home
I haven't had the chance that other kids had
I have no mother nor even a dad.

CHORUS

Early next morning as the crowd passed by
The little boy was gone and they wondered why
They started searchin' and then found him dead
He died with the papers under his head.

No one was there, his body to claim
There he was lying, but he felt no pain
Now he has gone up to heaven, we know
The Little Paper Boy, who died in the snow.

Thanks for the lyrics, Gene. Gee, the paperboy should have gotten together with the Little Match Girl.
