DOWN IN THE BOONDOCKS — текст песни (Ry Cooder)





(Joe South)

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 and she loves me
But I don`t fit in her society
Lord have mercy, I`m a boy from down in the boondocks

Now, every night I watch the lights from the house upon the hill
Well, I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don`t dare knock on her door
`Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I`ll just have to be content and see her whenever I can

Take a trip on down in the boondocks,
Take a ride on down in the boondocks
People put me down `cause that`s the side of town I was born in
See, I love her and she loves me
But I don`t fit her society
Lord have mercy, I`m a boy from down in the boondocks

One fine day I`ll find a way and move from this old shack
Well, I`ll hold my head up like a king and I`ll never, never will look back
`Til that morning I`ll work and slave
And I`ll save every dime
But tonight she`ll have to steal away
To see me one more time

Get together, darling, down in the boondocks
Making love, darling, down in the boondocks
People put me down `cause that`s the side of town I was born in
I love her and she loves me
But I don`t fit her society
Lord have mercy, I`m a boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy, I`m a boy from down in the boondocks
