00:00Isn't it a pity that the big bad city let him down?
00:12There's been no joy for the country boy in town
00:17Pound, pound, pound
00:26Raised on the farm and he took off the land
00:29Plenty fresh, sharing good food at hand
00:34Had a little girl and her name was Sue
00:37Sue, he said, here's what I'm gonna do
00:41I'm gonna leave home, gonna quit this call
00:46It's gotta be better than digging in the soil
00:49Gotta be better than digging in the soil
00:54Isn't it a pity that the big bad city let him down?
01:00There's been no joy for the country boy in town
01:07Pound, pound, pound
01:11Came into town on the wishing star
01:19He had a little money but it didn't go far
01:23He got a few jobs but the folks were mean
01:26And they laughed at the holes in his old blue jeans
01:31Determination was in his smile
01:35Gonna be a big wheel if you give me a while
01:38Gonna be a big wheel if you give me a while
01:43He had a pity that the big bad city treated him so bad
01:53Things got bad and then they got worse
02:00Soon not a penny jingled me in his purse
02:04Work got scarce and friends got the same
02:08Soon not a single body knew his name
02:12Determination began to fail
02:17If I don't leave, I'm gonna end in jail
02:20If I don't leave, I'm gonna end in jail
02:25Isn't it a pity that the big bad city let him down?
02:32There's been no joy for the country boy in town
02:38Pound, pound, pound
02:42Well, he swallowed his pride and he rang back home
02:49And Sue was sitting waiting by the tailor
02:51Sue, he said, it's your big wheel fool
02:56And I don't have a house nor a swimming
02:59She said, I don't care as you come to no harm
03:05And everybody's missing you down on the farm
03:09Everybody's missing you down on the farm
03:16Isn't it a pity that the big bad city let him down?
03:21There's been no joy for the country boy in town
03:27Pound, pound, pound
03:32Such a pity
