Little Barefoot Boy

(アルバム： Take Good Care Of My Baby - 1968)

Little barefoot boy
What happened to that barefoot boy?
So happy and gay
Full of fun and play
What happened to that barefoot boy?

He had a pair of cowboy boots
That he wore bare and thin
Playing hide-and-seek
With soldiers made of tin

He grew tall and went to school
Penny loafers were the thing
Soon, he fell in love
To his girl, he gave his ring

Little barefoot boy
What happened to that barefoot boy?
So happy and gay
Full of fun and play
What happened to that barefoot boy?

Well then, he wore a pair of boots
That blazed up very high
He walked in a foreign land
Where he had to fight or die

Now, he walks that land above
In sandals made of love
He gave his life to save a life
Of a little barefoot boy

Little barefoot boy
What happened to that barefoot boy?
[repeat and fade out]
