The Little Boy- Rebel Son
D G A D D G A D D
D1855 a Glong time ago
a Alittle boy stands wai Dting all alone
by the train tracks outside the rGailroad depot
and Anobody knew what his Dname was
well he climbed up inside of the Gvery next train
and the Apeople asked him, ?lonely Dboy what?s your name??
but he was too sick to talk so he Gcould not explain
so Anobody knew what his Dname was
well all the people cared for him and Gstayed by his side
and the Aboys health grew weaker as the Dhours passed by
and in his seat on that train car the Glittle boy died
and Anobody knew what his Dname was
in South Carolina the Gtrain stops still
and they Acarried him off Din Graniteville
they made a grave and buried him Gup on the hill
still Anobody knew what his Dname was
D G A D D G A D
to this Dday his grave?s kept clean and Gcovered with toys
with Ahopes that he?ll have some Dthing to enjoy
and his headstone still simple reads G?The Little Boy? cause noAbody knew what his naDme was
well Dsome nights at midnight a light Gshines on his grave
or Aso I?ve heard the Dtownspeople say
and some Dsay they?ve even seen him Gcome out to play
but still Anobody knows what his Dname was
D G A D D G A D

D G A D D G A D D

D G

1855 a long time ago

A D

a little boy stands wai ting all alone

by the train tracks outside the railroad depot

A D

and nobody knew what his name was

well he climbed up inside of the very next train

A D

and the people asked him, ?lonely boy what?s your name??

but he was too sick to talk so he could not explain

A D

so nobody knew what his name was

well all the people cared for him and stayed by his side

A D

and the boys health grew weaker as the hours passed by

and in his seat on that train car the little boy died

A D

and nobody knew what his name was

in South Carolina the train stops still

A D

and they carried him off in Graniteville

they made a grave and buried him up on the hill

A D

still nobody knew what his name was

D G A D D G A D

D G

to this day his grave?s kept clean and covered with toys

A D

with hopes that he?ll have some thing to enjoy

G A D

and his headstone still simple reads ?The Little Boy? cause nobody knew what his name was

D G

well some nights at midnight a light shines on his grave

A D

or so I?ve heard the townspeople say

D G

and some say they?ve even seen him come out to play

A D

but still nobody knows what his name was

D G A D D G A D
