hazel dickens - little lenaldo lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
little lenaldo, he’s only 11 years old
gets up at dawn to work in the hot fields all day
for a mean boss man who’ll abuse and never think twice
he’s known for cheap labor and a heart that’s cold as ice

[verse 2]
little lenaldo, no time ever to run and play
work is barely finished till its time to start another day
gray+haired little children growing old before their time
their leaves lay dying, they just rotted on the vine

[chorus]
poor little lenaldo
poor little ragged child
poor little child, so young and so mild
oh, what’s to become of him?

[verse 3]
how can it be we stand and just look away?
we ‘tend not to see this man destroy a little child
in the fields a+plenty, starvin’ out his time
but for chance or blessings, he could be a child of yours or mine

[chorus]
poor little lenaldo
poor little ragged child
poor little child, so young and so mild
oh, what’s to become of him?
[bridge]
underpaid, underfed
he’s worked like a dog every day

[chorus]
poor little child
so young and so mild
oh, what’s to become of him?
