| Lyrics: | The Good Boy
(Lemuel F. Parton)
I have led a good life, full of
peace and quiet
I shall have an old age, full of rum and riot.
I have been a good boy, wed
to work and study
I shall be an old man, ribald coarse and bloody.
I have never slit
throats, even when I yearned to.
Never sang dirty songs that my fancy turned to.
I have
been a nice boy, and done what was expected
I shall die and old bum, loved but
unrespected.
Recorded by Carl Sandburg
