He was but a traveller |
On the lonely road of life |
She, her name was Mary |
A lady of the night |
She found him lying in that road |
On a winter's night so cold |
Just another poor boy |
Treat him right |
She saw that he was hungry |
And gave him food to eat |
She knew that he was weary |
and he had no place to sleep |
She took him home to her own bed |
She lay down his wounded head |
And washed away the world from |
his hands and his feet |
He was just another poor boy |
Just another poor boy |
When he cried out in his sleep |
She held him tight |
Just another poor boy |
Just another poor boy |
And she gave him love |
And comfort through the night |
Till the mornings light |
Bridge: |
At night she sat beside him |
By the fire he would talk |
He said all men were brothers |
And that love could conquer all |
Many gathered round to hear |
Many for his life did fear |
In trouble times like these |
Men seldom talked |
Oh they came to him one morning |
At the breaking of the day |
She woke to hear him calling |
As they carried him away |
Accusing him of spreading lies |
And hate |
His public meetings were |
A danger to the state |
Some soldier said |
"Who was he anyway?" |
Just another poor boy |
Just another poor boy |
And the tears were falling |
From her face like rain |
Just another poor boy |
Just another poor boy |
And they hung him on |
The hillside far away |
