Poor boy down |
| [00:27.36] |
2014 remaster |
| [00:32.67] |
He's a poor boy in his pocket |
| [00:37.95] |
He's a poor boy in his shoes |
| [00:43.23] |
He's done his time |
| [00:52.44] |
He's stood in line |
| [00:56.85] |
That boy has paid his dues |
| [01:00.57] |
He ain't looking for a handout |
| [01:08.07] |
He's just looking for a start |
| [01:12.39] |
He don't hate anyone |
| [01:15.57] |
He don't carry a gun |
| [01:19.35] |
You can tell that kid is smart |
| [01:28.05] |
So you can' |
| [01:32.82] |
T keep that poor boy down |
| [01:34.44] |
You can be unkind |
| [01:37.20] |
You can rob him blind |
| [01:42.27] |
But you can't keep that poor boy down |
| [01:50.28] |
You can lie and cheat |
| [01:53.97] |
You can chain his feet |
| [01:57.21] |
But you can't keep that poor boy down |
| [02:05.10] |
And all down throughout the ages |
| [02:12.24] |
The kid's been treated rough |
| [02:16.02] |
Just take a look |
| [02:19.92] |
In any history book |
| [02:30.39] |
You can see that times were tough |
| [02:35.61] |
Now we move up to the nineties |
| [02:40.59] |
Up to the 21st |
| [02:45.33] |
One day he'll stand |
| [02:50.07] |
A full grown man |
| [02:55.50] |
And be the same as all of us |
| [02:58.26] |
So you can't keep that poor boy down |
| [03:02.94] |
You can lock him up |
| [03:08.13] |
You can break his cup |
| [03:11.40] |
But you can't keep that poor boy down |
| [03:15.60] |
You can fight and steal |
| [03:20.73] |
You can drag your heels |
| [03:24.93] |
But you can't keep that poor boy down |
| [03:29.70] |
You can kick his a*s |
| [03:38.13] |
If the kid's got class |
| [03:45.63] |
You can't keep that poor boy down |
| [03:53.79] |
Let's stop the truck |
| [03:58.74] |
Go back and pick him up |
| [04:04.38] |
You can't keep that poor boy down |
| [04:08.79] |
Let him go |
