I'm a poor boy, I'm a long way from home 
I'm a poor boy, I'm a long way from home 
What the others do, the world can't do me no harm 
I'm a poor boy, a long way from home 
Babe I can't stay here long, babe I can't stay here long 
What the others do, the world can't do me no harm 
I'm a poor boy, I'm a long way from home 
Well my, baby's dead and gone 
Well my, baby's dead and gone 
Well, well, well, well I'm a long way from home 
I'm a poor boy, I'm a long way from home 
And the world, can't do me no harm 
And the world, can't do me no harm 
Oh , no no no no, I'm a long way from home 
World can't do me no harm 
World can't do me no harm 
World can't do me no harm
