Poor Boy (3 verse overdub – take 6) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain′t lonesome and I ain't blue
′Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

Ain't got a crust, ain′t got a cent
Can′t buy a jug, can't pay the rent
I got a heart full of dreams
And a lot of memories
And that′s enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain′t blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I′ve got a dolly like you


Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot
Ain′t got a bean, I ain′t got a pot
But what I got is a heart full of
Love and memories
And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain′t lonesome and I ain't blue
′Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

Don′t have a pig, don't have a cow
I don't have a horse to pull a plow
But what I got is a heartfull of
Love and memories
And that′s enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain′t lonesome and I ain't blue
′Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

I got a dolly like
I′ve got a dolly like you
