(Steve Ortiz - Rubin Ortiz) Poor boy, poor boy look straight ahead Good times are coming, it has been said Poor boy, poor boy do not lose faith Go right on loving the human race. Born in an old shack on a very cold day My mother had to work on the following day Destination poverty, very little school She taught me to respect the golden rule. Poor boy, poor boy look straight ahead Good times are coming, it has been said Poor boy, poor boy do not lose faith Go right on loving the human race. Life has been a struggle moving all the time Hanging on a piece of thread this world of mine You mustn't go on living inward for regret 'Cause what's to be has done you must forget. Poor boy, poor boy look straight ahead Good times are coming, it has been said Poor boy, poor boy do not lose faith Go right on loving the human race. Go right on loving the human race...
