Boy

George Tipton, Joseph S. Lewis

Who's gonna soothe you when I'm gone
Who's gonna soothe you when I'm gone
Who will kindle the fire, wrap your sackcloth tight

Oh boy, oh boy you sure is a lusty one
Oh boy, oh boy you sure is your daddy's son

Well you've got a pair of lungs for such a tiny one
Sound of your voice wakes the morning sun
And I tell you boy I ain't gonna run
Ain't no big man boss gonna take my son

Oh boy oh boy sure is a lusty one
Oh boy oh boy sure is your daddy's son
Now I hear about that underground rail
They travel in the night and they ain't fail

I'll take you to a land
Where you can lift your head
If they make my child a slave
It's because your daddy's dead
Oh boy oh boy oh boy
