Paper Boy Lyrics

(Capo on 5th to play along)
Down to the agent's shop I'd go
I'd shoulder my bag down the Irvine Road
Past the council houses row on row
When I was a paper boy
With the Daily Record and the People's Friend
I'd go down to the sunny side again
Under the bridge where the railway bends
When I was a paper boy
And my feet flew in the morning light
Racing the dawn as the sky grew bright
And everything in the world was right
When I was a paper boy
I'd walk the morning and the empty streets
Would ring to the sound of my own two feet
And I'd walk in step to my own heartbeat
When I was a paper boy
As the rain rolled down the back of my neck
I'd deliver the news of death and sex
Rhodesia, Speck and Malcolm X
When I was a paper boy
There's a crow in a treetop way up high
Hung as a warning left to die
And a moaning wind in the morning sky
When I was a paper boy
