Slim Dusty- Little Boy Lost- 1960?
[intro]
Bb   Eb   Bb
[Verse 1]
BbIn the wild New England ranges came the Ebword one fateful day 
To Bbevery town and village that a Abboy had lost is Ebway 
All the town Bbfolk quickly gathered and the Ebwild bush horses tossed 
And they Bbwent out to search the ranges for this Ablittle boy Eblost 
They Bbwent out to search the ranges for this Ablittle boy Eblost
[Pre Chorus 1]
Came the nBbight 
Came the Ebmornin' 
Another Bbnight 
Another dEbawnin' 
[Chorus 1]
AbAnd a mother weeps in silence as she Ebkneels before the cross 
And she Abprays to God in hBbeaven for her Ablittle boy Eblost
[Verse 2]
BbThe blazin' sun beat down upon the Ebearth that final day 
And with Bbheavy hearts they prayed to AbGod above to show the Ebway 
When from a scrubby guBblly came a voice they'd ne'er foEbrgot 
Where's my Bbdaddy, Where's my daddy, Cried the Ablittle boy Eblost 
Where's my Bbdaddy, where's my daddy, Cried the Ablittle boy lEbost
[Verse 3]
In the Bbwild New England ranges there's a Ebboy that's known so well 
There's a sBbtory that the town folk and bushAmmen often Ebtell 
How he Bbfought the rugged country where Ebman had seldom crossed 
BbAnd a mother's prayers were answered for her Ablittle boy lEbost
