C                 G7
Out on the corner standin' so bold
                                       C
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold
                      G7
And as the crowd came passin' by
                                      C
These words he said with tears in his eyes
              G7
"Please buy a paper from me
                             C
So I can get me somethin' to eat
                          G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"
                                        C
Said the little paper boy, there on the street
                       G7
"Out in this cold wide world all alone
                                      C
I have no place on this earth to call home
                              G7
I haven't had the chance that other kids had
                             C
I have no mother, nor even a dad
                G7
So please buy a paper from me
                             C
So I can get me somethin' to eat
                          G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet "
                                        C
Said the little paper boy, there on the street
                          G7
Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by
                                          C
The little boy was gone and they wondered why
                           G7
They started searchin' and then found him dead
                                  C
He died with the papers under his head
                     G7
No one was there his body to claim
                                  C
There he was lying but he felt no pain
                      G7
Now he has gone up to Heaven we know
                                     C
The little paper boy who died in the snow
