Poor Boy Long Way From Home Lyrics

[Intro]
This is called "Poor Boy"

[Verse 1]
Me and poor boy was travelling
Travelling a long way from home
Me and poor boy got brought off
Got brought off and praised and found
[Verse 2]
My dear mother, she got worried
When we was down all in the farm
Mama, she called that farmer up
And he told her that it's a-prison bound

[Verse 3]
My dear mother got on the farm
She called down a little far
My mother talked to the sergeant
He wanted not to have mercy on me

[Verse 4]
Well this sergeant told dear mother
He would take 200 dollar bill
We didn't have no one
To come and get us out on bail

[Verse 5]
Poor boy, he got all worried
[?] walking to us breaking down
I said "Poor boy don't worry
Our mother get us out of prison bound"
[Verse 4]
Well this sergeant told dear mother
He would take two hundred dollar bill
We didn't have no one
To come and get us out of bail

[Verse 6]
Oh, my mother she got worried
She couldn't get them two hundred dollar bill
So one Sunday morning
My mother, she drove to the farm
[Verse 7]
Well, the sergeant met my mother
Drove on up to at the gate
My mother she told the sergeant
She never had no two hundred dollar bill

[Verse 8]
Well, my mother she kneeled down
My mother kneeled down on her knee
Oh, my mother pleased the Sergeant
Will you please sir have some mercy on me?

[Verse 9]
My dear mother, she [?] cryin'
Told the sergeant, then she broke down
He said "These boys promised
They will not [?] on my train"

[Verse 10]
I said "Listen brother poor boy
Don't be worry crime
Somebody, somebody, somewhere
