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
