Poor Boy Long Way From Home Lyrics

This is called "Poor Boy"

Me and poor boy was travelling
Travelling a long way from home
Me and poor boy got brought off
Got brought off and praised and found

My dear mother, she got worried
When we was down all in the farm
Mama, she called the farmer
And he told her that it's an prison ?

My dear mother got on the farm
She called down a little far
My mother talked to the sergeant
He wanted not have mercy on me

Well this sergeant told dear mother
He went ?
We didn't have no one
To come and get us out of bail

Poor boy he got all worried
Calm walking to ? town
I said "Poor boy don't worry
Our mother get us out of prison bound"

Well this sergeant told dear mother
He went ?
We didn't have no one
To come and get us out of bail

Oh, my mother she got worried
She couldn't get them to ?
So one Sunday morning
My mother, she drove to the farm

Well the sergeant met my mother
Drove on up the the gate
My mother she told the sergeant
She ? has no two hundred dollar bills

Well, my mother she kneeled down
?, pardon me
Oh, ? please Sergeant
Will you please sir have some mercy on me?

My dear mother, "She will cryin'"
Told the sergeant, then she broke down
He said "These boys promised
They will not ? on my train"

I said "Listen though poor boy
Don't be worry crime
Somebody, somebody, somewhere
Gonna get us out of prison bound"
