Boy - Harry Belafonte

Who’s gonna soothe you when I’m gone

Who’s gonna soothe you when I’m gone

Who will kindle the fire, wrap your sackcloth tight

Oh boy, oh boy you sure is a lusty one

Oh boy, oh boy you sure is your daddy’s son

Well you’ve got a pair of lungs for such a tiny one

Sound of your voice wakes the morning sun

And I tell you boy I ain’t gonna run

Ain’t no big man boss gonna take my son

Oh boy oh boy sure is a lusty one

Oh boy oh boy sure is your daddy’s son

Now I hear about that underground rail

They travel in the night and they ain’t fail

I’ll take you to a land

Where you can lift your head

If they make my child a slave

It’s because your daddy’s dead

Oh boy oh boy oh boy
