Little Paper Boy
Out on the corner, standin so boldStood a little paper boy, so hungry and coldAnd as the crowd came passin' byThese words he said with tears in his eyePlease buy a paper from me,so I can get me something to eatMy clothes are ragged,No shoes on my feet,Said the little paper boy,There on the streetOut in the cold wide world all aloneI have no place on this earth to call homeI haven't had the chance that other kids haveI have no mother, nor even a dadSo please buy a paper from me,so I can get me something to eatMy clothes are ragged,No shoes on my feet,Said the little paper boy,There on the streetEarly next morning as the crowd passed byThe little boy was gone, and they wondered whySongtexteThey started searchin' and then they found him deadHe died with the papers under his headNo one was there, his body to claimThere he was lying but he felt no painNow he has gone up to heaven we knowThe little paper boy that died in the snowThere ya have it,friends
