COut on the corner G7standin' so bold
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and Ccold
And as the crowd came G7passin' by
These words he said with tears in his Ceyes
"Please buy a G7paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to Ceat
My clothes are ragged, no G7shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy, there on the Cstreet
"Out in this cold wide G7world all alone
I have no place on this earth to call Chome
I haven't had the chance that G7other kids had
I have no mother, nor even a Cdad
So please buy a G7paper from me
So I can get me somethin' to Ceat
My clothes are ragged, no G7shoes on my feet "
Said the little paper boy, there on the Cstreet
Early next mornin' as the G7crowd passed by
The little boy was gone and they wondered Cwhy
They started searchin' and G7then found him dead
He died with the papers under his Chead
No one was there his G7body to claim
There he was lying but he felt no Cpain
Now he has gone up to G7Heaven we know
The little paper boy who died in the Csnow

C G7

Out on the corner standin' so bold

Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold

And as the crowd came passin' by

These words he said with tears in his eyes

"Please buy a paper from me

So I can get me somethin' to eat

My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"

Said the little paper boy, there on the street

"Out in this cold wide world all alone

I have no place on this earth to call home

I haven't had the chance that other kids had

I have no mother, nor even a dad

So please buy a paper from me

So I can get me somethin' to eat

My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet "

Said the little paper boy, there on the street

Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by

The little boy was gone and they wondered why

They started searchin' and then found him dead

He died with the papers under his head

No one was there his body to claim

There he was lying but he felt no pain

Now he has gone up to Heaven we know

The little paper boy who died in the snow
