Boy Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Who′s gonna soothe you when I'm gone?
Who′s gonna soothe you when I'm gone?
Who's gonna rock you in the stormy night?
Who will kindle the fire, wrap your sackcloth tight?

Oh, boy, oh, boy, you sure is a lusty one
Oh, boy, oh, boy, you sure is your papi′s son


Well, you got a pair of lungs for such a tiny one
Sound of your voice wakes the morning sun
And I tell you boy I ain′t gonna run
Ain't no big man boss gonna take my son

Oh, boy, oh, boy, you sure is a lusty one
Oh, boy, oh, boy, you sure is your papi′s son

Now I hear about that underground rail
They travel in the night and they ain't fail
I′ll take you to a land
Where you can lift your head
If they make my child a slave
It's because your daddy′s dead

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy
