I was a little boy I had a little pup He ran out into the street Never came back to me I cried, cried myself to sleep at night Cried, cried myself to sleep at night There was this man I knew He came to move in with us He took all my youth away He's taken my mother away Cried, cried myself to sleep at night Cried, cried myself to sleep at night Cried, cried myself to sleep at night
