E Esus4/B E Esus4/B E A E Rain and snow, cold winds blow, B7 E What can a poor boy do? E A E All alone, and I can't go home, B7 E And I wish I was back with you, with you, B7 E Wish I was back with you. E A E I slept last night in an old hay barn, B7 E As cold as cold could be, E A E And as I lay there fallin' asleep, B7 E I dreamed you were there with me.
Rain and snow, cold winds blow,
What can a poor boy do?
All alone, and I can't go home,
And I wish I was back with you, with you,
Wish I was back with you.
I work in the fields and I worked in the yards,
I work for a migrant's pay.
When the job is done, I move right along
For they're hard on the ones that stay.
Rain and snow, cold winds blow,
What can a poor boy do?
All alone, and I can't go home,
And I wish I was back with you, with you,
Wish I was back with you.
I'll be your man, my sweet Sally Ann,
I'll sure try to look after you.
But when they say that's all that they'll pay,
What can a hungry man do?
Rain and snow, cold winds blow,
What can a poor boy do?
All alone, and I can't go home,
And I wish I was back with you, with you,
Wish I was back with you.
I spend my time in the lone saloons
Nursing a glass of beer.
Broke and hungry and wondering why
And wishing that you were here.
Rain and snow, cold winds blow,
What can a poor boy do?
All alone, and I can't go home,
And I wish I was back with you, with you,
Wish I was back with you.
Now the times are hard and the times are bad,
And jobs are hard to find.
It's down this road on tired feet
With trouble on my mind.
Rain and snow, cold winds blow,
What can a poor boy do?
All alone, and I can't go home,
And I wish I was back with you, with you,
Wish I was back with you.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1963)
