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
