Every night I watch the light
From the house to the top of the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there
And I guess I always will
No, I never cared what the people said
About loving you the way I did
I wanna keep on loving you every day
and loving you the way I want to
said that's the side of town that I was born in
I love her and she loves me,
but I don't get her society
Oh Lord, have mercy on a boy
One fine day I'll find a way
To move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king,
and I'm never gonna ever look back
Un til that day I'll work and slay,
But tonight she'll have to steal away
just to see me one more time
You know people put me down,
I said that's the side of town
I love her, she loves me, girl,
but I don't get your fucking family
You know lord have mercy,
I'm a boy from down in the boga
Lord, have mercy on a boy
Oh Lord, have mercy on a boy
