I'll send a message to our resident anonymous Hank Williams expert. If he can't come through for you, nobody can. -Joe Offer- |

04 Sep 99 - 10:58 PM (#111547) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Little Paper boy From: Gene 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.
