The Boy Down the Road
Seals And Crofts

Long long ago in a house up the road

Lived a maiden so beautiful

Day after day she looked the same old way

As the sun shone off her hair of gold

Someday I would go there and ask for her hand

Just as soon as I become a man

In the afternoon she'd sit in the shade

And wave as I watched from down the road

Time after time I wished my head to lay

In her arms and at last she would know

Then one day a stranger came to call

And took her far away from down the road

I watched 'til the dusk from the fields down below

But in vain for the night began to fall

Then came the message that summoned me to town

And my knees gave way to the ground

They say that this message came with her dying breath

The very last words she ever spoke

Give my love to the boy down the road

And tell him not to cry, for I know
