Down in
the boondocks,
down in the boondocks
People put me down
cause that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her an d she loves me,
I don't mix with her society
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
Every night I would watch the light
from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there
and I guess I always will
I don't care if I'm on the door
cause the daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
And see you whenever I can
Aquí en el barrio
Aquí en el barrio
No más porque aquí nací
Me tratan tan mal
La quiero yo y me quiere a mí
Pero no quieren que sea así
Yo sayúdame que amo
a ella y mi padre
One fine day I'll find a way
To leave from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king
And I never will look back
Until that morning
I'll work and slay
And I'll say very loud
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time
Aquí en el barrio
Aquí en el barrio
No más porque aquí nací
Me tratan tan mal
La quiero yo y me quiere a mí
Pero no quieren que sea así
Dios ayúdame que aguante
allá en mi barrio
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down
Cause that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her, she loves me
But I don't fit the society
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
Lord, have mercy on a boy
from down in the boondocks
You
