Oh, barefoot boy Once he came unto a land Of forests and of streams That tumbled through The meadows to the sea He called it home For many were its wonders And he learned to live upon the land Taking only what he needed Barefoot boy He don't like your concrete He seek the country Any way he can Barefoot boy He's fading down your street Yes I know he'll never Come this way again And time passes on In this life of always changing People coming building cities Cut your forest pave your highway Oh, barefoot boy He wraps his blanket 'round his shoulders He says goodbye to misty mountains Once more he sets off to wander Oh, barefoot boy He don't like your concrete And he seek the country Any way he, any way that he can Barefoot boy He's fading down your street Yes I know he'll never Come this way again
