Текст и слова песни Billy Joe Royal – Down in The Boondocks
[*CHORUS]
Down in the boondocks,
Down in the boondocks;
People put me down
'Cause that's the side of town I was born in.
I love her,
She loves me,
But I don't fit in her society.
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
Every night, I watch the light
from the house upon the hill.
I love a little girl that lives up there,
And I guess I always will.
And I don't dare knock on her door,
'Cause her daddy is my boss-man,
So I'll just have to be content
to see her whenever I can...
[BRIDGE]
(down in the boondocks)
(down in the boondocks)
One fine day, I'll find a way
to move from this old shack.
I'll hold my head up like a king,
And I never, ever will look back.
Until that mornin', I'll work and slave,
And I'll save every dime,
But tonight she'll have to see her way
to see me one more time...
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
Down in the boondocks,
Down in the boondocks;
People put me down
'Cause that's the side of town I was born in.
I love her,
She loves me,
But I don't fit in her society.
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
Every night, I watch the light
from the house upon the hill.
I love a little girl that lives up there,
And I guess I always will.
And I don't dare knock on her door,
'Cause her daddy is my boss-man,
So I'll just have to be content
to see her whenever I can...

And I'll save every dime,
But tonight she'll have to see her way
to see me one more time...
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
Lord, have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks.
