Poor Boy
The Lords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day.
Poor boy life is so hard to go
Poor boy
Poor boy you must say
Life is very hard to stay
When I was born you know
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day.
The Lords's song "Poor Boy" is a poignant depiction of the difficulties and struggles of life. The lyrics suggest the idea that the singer may be a young child who is learning to speak, and his mother is teaching him that although life can be difficult, it is still worth living. The first stanza conveys the singer's infancy and his mother's hard work for him. The second stanza emphasizes the toughness of life itself and how it affects every member of the family. The chorus continues to remind the listener of the hardships of life, as the singer repeats, "Poor boy you must know, Poor boy life is so hard to go, Poor boy, Poor boy you must say, Life is very hard to stay."
The verses and chorus of Poor Boy alternate to deliver a sad and somehow to some extent philosophical message. The child who could not even talk yet already learned about the hardships of life, which many learn much later. The repetition of the phrase "life is so hard each day" underscores the idea of the struggles and difficulties that come with living each day. Through his song, The Lords communicate that life is not an easy journey, and we all have to face hardships and struggles.

When I was born you know
From the moment of my birth, I was unable to express my intentions
I couldn't speak 'I'll go'
I lacked the ability to vocalize the simple phrase 'I'll go'
My mother worked each day
My mother labored tirelessly every day
And she learned me to say
She patiently taught me to verbalize
Mother and father and son
The familial unit of mother, father, and child
Sister and uncle have fun
Other members of the extended family participated in enjoyable activities
And she learned me to say
Again, my mother taught me to speak
Life is so hard each day
Every day is a tremendous struggle
Poor boy you must know
I must understand the harsh realities of my impoverished existence
Poor boy life is so hard to go
My impoverished condition makes it exceedingly difficult to survive
Poor boy
I am a boy in a dire state of poverty
Poor boy you must say
I must communicate the difficulty of my condition
Life is very hard to stay
It is a constant battle to maintain one's hold on life
Life is so hard each day
Each day presents new and daunting struggles
Life is so hard each day.

They must have gotten a group discount at the barber shop, providing they all got the same Prince Valiant cut.
