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
