Nick Drake — Poor Boy

[Verse 1] Never sing for my supper I never help my neighbour Never do what is proper For my fair share of labour [Pre-Chorus] I'm a poor boy And I'm a rover Count your coins and Throw them over my shoulder I may grow older [Chorus] Nobody knows How cold it grows And nobody sees How shaky my knees Nobody cares How steep my stairs And nobody smiles If I cross their stiles [Post-Chorus] (Oh, poor boy) (So sorry for himself) (Oh, poor boy) (So worried for his health) "You may say every day Where will he stay tonight? [Verse 2] Never know what I came for Seems that I've forgotten Never ask what I came for Or how I was begotten [Pre-Chorus] I'm a poor boy And I'm a ranger Things I say May seem stranger than Sunday Changing to Monday [Chorus] Nobody knows How cold it flows And nobody feels The worn-down heels Nobody's eyes Make the skies Nobody spreads Their aching heads [Post-Chorus] (Oh, poor boy) (So worried for his life) (Oh, poor boy) (So keen to take a wife) He's a mess but he'll say yes If you just dress in white [Chorus] Nobody knows How cold it grows And nobody sees How shaky my knees Nobody cares How steep my stairs And nobody smiles If I cross their stiles [Post-Chorus] (Oh, poor boy) (So sorry for himself) (Oh, poor boy) (So worried for his health) You may say every day "Where will he stay tonight?" [Outro] (Oh, poor boy) (So worried for his life) (Oh, poor boy) (So keen to take a wife) (Oh, poor boy) (So sorry for himself) (Oh, poor boy) (So worried for his health) (Oh, poor boy)
