Lyrics:
Down in the boondocksCown in the boondocksPeople put me down 'cause that'sThe side of town I was born inI love her, she loves meBut I don't fit in her societyLord, have mercy on the boyFrom down in the boondocksEvery night I watch the lightFrom the house up on the hillI love a little girl that lives up thereAnd I guess I always willBut I don't dare knock on her door'Cause her daddy is my boss manSo I'll just have to be contentTo see her whenever I canDown in the boondocksCown in the boondocksPeople put me down 'cause that'sThe side of town I was born inI love her, she loves meBut I don't fit in her societyLord, have mercy on the boyFrom down in the boondocksDown in the boondocksCown in the boondocksOne fine day I'll find a wayTo move from this old shackI'll hold my head up like a kingAnd I never, never will look backUntil that morning I'll workAnd slave and I'll save every dimeBut tonight she'll have to steal awayTo see me one more timeDown in the boondocksCown in the boondocksPeople put me down 'cause that'sThe side of town I was born inI love her, she loves meBut I don't fit in her societyLord, have mercy on the boyFrom down in the boondocksLord, have mercy on the boyFrom down in the boondocksLord, have mercy on the boyFrom down in the boondocks
