1855 a G
long time agoa
A
little boy stands waiD
ting all aloneby the train tracks outside the r
G
ailroad depotand
A
nobody knew what his D
name waswell he climbed up inside of the
G
very next trainand the
A
people asked him, "lonely D
boy what's your name?"but he was too sick to talk so he
G
could not explainso
A
nobody knew what his D
name waswell all the people cared for him and
G
stayed by his sideand the
A
boys health grew weaker as the D
hours passed byand in his seat on that train car the
G
little boy diedand
A
nobody knew what his D
name wasin South Carolina the
G
train stops stilland they
A
carried him off D
in Granitevillethey made a grave and buried him
G
up on the hillstill
A
nobody knew what his D
name wasD

to this
D
day his grave's kept clean and G
covered with toyswith
A
hopes that he'll have some D
thing to enjoyand his headstone still simple reads
G
"The Little Boy"cause
A
nobody knew what his D
name waswell
D
some nights at midnight a light G
shines on his graveor
A
so I've heard the D
townspeople sayand some
D
say they've even seen him G
come out to playbut still
A
nobody knows what his D
name wasD
