What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Never sing for my supper
2
I never help my neighbour
3
Never do what is proper
4
For my share of labour.
5
I'm a poor boy
6
And I'm a rover
7
Count your coins and
8
Throw them over my shoulder
9
I may grow older
10
Nobody knows
11
How cold it grows
12
And nobody sees
13
How shaky my knees
14
Nobody cares
15
How steep my stairs
16
And nobody smiles
17
If I cross their stiles.
18
Oh poor boy
19
So sorry for himself
20
Oh poor boy
21
So worried for his health.
22
You may say every day
23
Where will he stay tonight.
24
Never know what I came for
25
Seems that I've forgotten
26
Never ask what I came for
27
Or how I was begotten.
28
I'm a poor boy
29
And I'm a ranger
30
Things I say
31
May seem stranger than Sunday
32
Changing to Monday.
33
Nobody knows
34
How cold it flows
35
And nobody feels
36
The worn down heels
37
Nobody's eyes
38
Make the skies
39
Nobody spreads
40
Their aching heads.
41
Oh poor boy
42
So worried for his life
43
Oh poor boy
44
So keen to take a wife.
45
He's a mess but he'll say yes
46
If you just dress in white.
47
Nobody knows
48
How cold it blows
49
And nobody sees
50
How shaky my knees
51
Nobody cares
52
How steep my stairs
53
And nobody smiles
54
If you cross their stiles.
55
Oh poor boy
56
So sorry for himself
57
Oh poor boy
58
So worried for his health.
59
You may say every day
60
Where will he stay tonight.
61
Oh poor boy
62
So worried for his life
63
Oh poor boy
64
So keen to take a wife.
65
Oh poor boy
66
So sorry for himself
67
Oh poor boy
68
So worried for his health
69
Oh poor boy.
