Gary Lewis & The Playboys Down In The Boondocks Lyrics

[CHORUS]
Down in the boondocks
Cown 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 the boy
From down in the boondocks

Every night I watch the light
From the house up on the hill
I love a little girl that 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
To see her whenever I can

[repeat CHORUS] Down in the boondocks
Cown 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, never will look back

Until that morning I'll work
And slave and I'll save every dime
Top40db.com
Top40db.net
Top40db.org.
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

[repeat CHORUS]

Lord, have mercy on the boy
From down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on the boy
From down in the boondocks
