[Verse 1]
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
The world can't do me no—

[Verse 2]
Babe, I can't stay here long
No, no, no, no
World can't do me no harm
I'm a poor boy, I'm a long way from home
World can't do me no—

[Verse 3]
My baby, she's dead and gone
My baby, she's dead and gone
The world can't do me no—
World can't do me no harm

[Outro]
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
The world can't do me no—
