Hank Williams – Little Paper Boy (Guitar)

C                 G7
Out on the corner standin' so bold

                                       C
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold

                      G7
And as the crowd came passin' by

                                      C
These words he said with tears in his eyes

              G7
"Please buy a paper from me

                             C
So I can get me somethin' to eat

                          G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"

                                        C
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

                       G7
"Out in this cold wide world all alone

                                      C
I have no place on this earth to call home

                              G7
I haven't had the chance that other kids had

                             C
I have no mother, nor even a dad

                G7
So please buy a paper from me

                             C
So I can get me somethin' to eat

                          G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet "

                                        C
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

                          G7
Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by

                                          C
The little boy was gone and they wondered why

                           G7
They started searchin' and then found him dead

                                  C
He died with the papers under his head

                     G7
No one was there his body to claim

                                  C
There he was lying but he felt no pain

                      G7
Now he has gone up to Heaven we know

                                     C
The little paper boy who died in the snow
