[Verse 1]
Well, I used to be a poor boy just like you
Used to walk alone, boy, just like you
Gave my heart to sweet Mary and she told me the truth
Yes, I used to be a poor boy just like you
Yes, I used to be a poor boy just like you
[Chorus]
Listen to me now, children
Say “yes sir”, say “yes sir“, say “yes sir”
Listen to me now, listen to me now
A poor boy, a poor boy, a poor boy
[Verse 2]
Well, I used to be a poor boy as a matter of fact
My mama raised the children, yeah
A one room shack
Gave my heart to sweet Mary and she don’t give it back
Yes, I used to be a poor boy as a matter of fact
My mama raised the children in a one room shack
[Chorus]
Listen to me now, children
Say “yes sir”, say “yes sir“, say “yes sir”
Listen to me now, listen to me now
Poor boy, a poor boy, a poor boy
Well, I used to be a poor boy just like you
Used to walk alone, boy, just like you
Gave my heart to sweet Mary and she told me the truth
Yes, I used to be a poor boy just like you
Yes, I used to be a poor boy just like you
[Chorus]
Listen to me now, children
Say “yes sir”, say “yes sir“, say “yes sir”
Listen to me now, listen to me now
A poor boy, a poor boy, a poor boy
[Verse 2]
Well, I used to be a poor boy as a matter of fact
My mama raised the children, yeah
A one room shack
Gave my heart to sweet Mary and she don’t give it back
Yes, I used to be a poor boy as a matter of fact
My mama raised the children in a one room shack
[Chorus]
Listen to me now, children
Say “yes sir”, say “yes sir“, say “yes sir”
Listen to me now, listen to me now
Poor boy, a poor boy, a poor boy
