The Poor Boy Is Taken Away

Called him poor boy

You took him for fun

He dressed for the tinkering trade

He dressed for the tinkering trade

Now the poor boy is taken away

No use waiting

Like a ghost in a dream

The world has no comfort to bring

The world has no comfort to bring

He left you, took everything

No use standing

Waving adieu

The penny won’t drop in your mind

The penny won’t drop in your mind

The old flame has left you behind

No use crying

In a room full of memories

You never will find yesterday

You never will find yesterday

And the poor boy is taken away
