They used to let me play with her awhile this rich man's daughter with a pretty smile
|
But I was just a poor man's ragged child and living on the wrong side of the tracks
|
And social walls are hard to rise above the wrong side of the tracks can kill true love
|
There's many who must know what I speak of
|
If they come from the wrong side of the tracks

|
As time went by I grew to love her so we'd slipp away so her folks wouldn't know
|
And with each kiss our love just seemed to grow
|
Though I came from the wrong side of the tracks
|
True love made different worlds into the same
|
It knows no boundary's made by sicial name
|
But still her parents gave me all the blame cause I live on the wrong side of the tracks
|
[ steel ]
|
I guess they had a plan right from the start
|
They vowed somehow they'd keep we two apart
|
They moved her far away and took my heart
|
And left me on the wrong side of the tracks
|
Yeah I recieved her letter yesterday she tells me just to wait there'll be a way
|
But will they kill her love by things they say
|
And leave me on the wrong side of the tracks
