Down In The Boondocks (Letra)

(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

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Ev’ry night i watch the lights from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and i guess i always will
But i don’t dare knock upon her door, ‘cause her daddy is my boss man
So i got to try to be content, to see her whenever i can, goin’
Chorus:
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, she loves me, but i don’t fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
But i need money, honey, give me money, honey
Money, honey, (i need enough) money, honey
I’ll take it to the bank, i’ll take it all down, just say it to me, oh man
Chorus
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 will look back
Until that day 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, goin’
Chorus repeats 2x
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Mama have mercy on a boy from down in the – ooh
Have mercy baby, a little mercy, hang around all day, take me
Down in the boondocks, da-da-down in the boondocks (repeats out)
