Introduction:

C                                            G7  
Out on the corner standin' so bold
                                                                                                        C  
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold
                                                          G7  
And as the crowd came passin' by
                                                                                                     C  
These words he said with tears in his eyes
                                     G7  
"Please buy a paper from me
                                                                             C  
So I can get me somethin' to eat
                                                                     G7  
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"
                                                                                                          C  
Said the little paper boy, there on the street
                                                             G7  
"Out in this cold wide world all alone
                                                                                                     C  
I have no place on this earth to call home
                                                                                G7  
I haven't had the chance that other kids had
                                                                             C  
I have no mother, nor even a dad
                                          G7  
So please buy a paper from me
                                                                             C  
So I can get me somethin' to eat
                                                                     G7  
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet "
                                                                                                          C  
Said the little paper boy, there on the street
                                                                     G7  
Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by
                                                                                                                C  
The little boy was gone and they wondered why
                                                                        G7  
They started searchin' and then found him dead
                                                                                          C  
He died with the papers under his head
                                                        G7  
No one was there his body to claim
                                                                                          C  
There he was lying but he felt no pain
                                                          G7  
Now he has gone up to Heaven we know
                                                                                                  C  
The little paper boy who died in the snow
