Billy Boyd lived on the outskirts of town In a ramshackle cabin all broken down A wife, five children and money he had none He tried his best, he worked so hard But what he earned, she spent to look smart Food was scarce and kids used to starve He'd pray to God bring help from above Abuse and beatings was all that he got Whilst she'd go roaming to seek more lovers out Home she'd come to laugh in his face And he would weep silently at night Oh God, he'd cry, please help me to cope But only silence met his pleas so desperate His eyes fell upon the carving knife The blade so clean and shiny bright To plunge this knife into his heart And end this painful miserable life With shaking hands he went to reach When again she hurled abuse at him Out he went to run her errands When someone in the street did stop him I can tell what ails you my friend So spoke to him this stranger What you must seek is close to you Behind red door in dingy street You will find what you seek The Lost Boy's Club
