Till the morning light...<br /><br /><br />Verse 2:<br />At night she sat beside him, by the fire he would talk.<br />He said all men were brothers, and that love could conquer all.<br />Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear,<br />In troubled times like these men seldom talked.<br /><br />Oh they came for him one moring at the breaking of the day,<br />She woke to hear him calling as they carried him away.<br />Accusing him of spreading lies and hate, his public meetings were a danger to the state,<br />Some soldier said "who was he anyway?"<br /><br /><br />Chorus:<br />Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,<br />And the tears were falling from her face like rain.<br />Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,<br />And they hung him on the hillside far away,<br />And on the ground she lay.<br /><br />Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,<br />And the tears were falling from her face like rain.<br />Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,<br />And they hung him on the hillside far away. (Just another poor boy)<br />Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,<br />And she never dreamed she'd see his face again...
