Down In The Boondocks Lyrics

Gary Lewis & The Playboys Down In The Boondocks

[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

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
