Little Paper Boy Chords & Lyrics - Hank Williams

[C]Out on the corner [G7]standin' so bold
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and [C]cold
And as the crowd came [G7]passin' by
These words he said with tears in his [C]eyes

"Please buy a [G7]paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to [C]eat
My clothes are ragged, no [G7]shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy, there on the [C]street

"Out in this cold wide [G7]world all alone
I have no place on this earth to call [C]home
I haven't had the chance that [G7]other kids had
I have no mother, nor even a [C]dad

So please buy a [G7]paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to [C]eat
My clothes are ragged, no [G7]shoes on my feet "
Said the little paper boy, there on the [C]street

Early next mornin' as the [G7]crowd passed by
The little boy was gone and they wondered [C]why
They started searchin' and [G7]then found him dead
He died with the papers under his [C]head

No one was there his [G7]body to claim
There he was lying but he felt no [C]pain
Now he has gone up to [G7]Heaven we know
The little paper boy who died in the [C]snow
