ESSAS COISAS EXISTEM !...
Para que não haja dúvidas, aqui vai a letra:
("Down in the boondocks" é uma expressão que significa "nos quintos dos infernos", ou conforme o contexto, "comendo o pão que o diabo amassou", ou "em má situação").
Billy Joe Royal
Down In The Boondocks Lyrics
[ from Riding in Cars With Boys Soundtrack ]
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I have to try to be content
Just to see her when ever I can
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
Until that morning I'll work and slave
And I'll save ev'ry dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
E quando terminar o video, vejam também o "Hang on Sloopy" (que aparece na sequência), cuja letra é a contraparte do "down in the boondocks", e que é conhecida aqui no Patropi pela versão intitulada "Pobre Menina".

Será uma bela surpresa para o pessoal "das antigas"...
Errata: Onde se vê a moça de shortinho e blusa, veja-se a tal "sloopy girl" com o tão decantado vestido vermelho, "mais velho que a montanha".
Aviso: O tal shortinho não contém glúten. Alegam porém as más linguas que uma pulga se inseriu indevidamente no contexto, de forma a influenciar consubstancialmente a dança da sloopy.
Hmm, "sloopey dance"?
E a propósito, uma "sloopy girl" é uma garota pobre, mal falada, que "anda em boca-de-matilde".
Essa letra é um sinal de que o amor é lindo...
