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
