Down In The Boondocks Songtext
Down in the boondocks down in the boondocks

People lookin' down cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love him he loves me but I don't fit in his society

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks


Every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill

I love a boy who lives up there and I guess I always will

But I don't dare go near his door cause jis folks won't let me in

So I have to try to be content just to see him wherever I can

Down in the boondocks...



One find day I'll find a way to move from this old shack

I'll hold my head up like a queen and I never never will look back

Until that day I'll save my love for a boy I'll soon call mine

But tonight he'll have to steal away to see me one more time
Down in the boondocks...

Lord have mercy on the girl from down in the boondocks
