Down in the Boondocks

Joe South

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
And I love her, she loves me
But I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Every night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there
I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
Her daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
And I love her, she loves me
But I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks

One fine day, I'll find the way
To move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king
And I never, never will look back
Until that morning, I'll work and slave
And I'll save every dime
But tonight, she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
And I love her, she loves me
But I don't fit in her society
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
