Don’t send that boy away

In society I wish you’d let him stay

Please don’t give him time

Please don’t confine

Please don’t say

Keep that boy away

Give freedom to that child

That sure would make him smile

All that may do my rhyme

Is deny that there is crime

Please don’t say

Sender, keep that boy away

I been watching him for days

And most of the time he prays

That the crooked are always straight

To know before anyone has to hear him

Without pain

Need to say I’m the same

Don’t send that boy away

And society I wish you’d let him stay

Please don’t give him time

Please don’t him, confine

Please don’t say

Send that boy away

Give freedom to this child

It sure would make him smile

All that may do my rhyme

Is deny that there is crime

Please don’t say

Send that boy away

I been watching him for days

And most of the time he prays

That the crooked will go straight

To him and you before anyone else

To him who will think again

If you will allow me

I will say

Don’t send that boy away

In society I wish you’d let him stay

Please don’t give him time

Please don’t him confine

Please don’t say

Send that boy away
