The Boxer(Karaoke tribute version originally performed by Emmylou Harris)
I am just a poor boy
- I am just a poor boy
- Though my story's seldom told
- I have squandered my existence
- On a pocket full of
- Mumbles such are promises
- All lies in jest till a
- Man hears what he wants to hear
- And disregards the rest
- Well I left my home and family
- I was no more than a boy
- In the company of strangers
- In the quiet of the
- Railway station runnin' scared
- Layin' low seeking out
- The poor quarters
- Where the ragged people go
- Looking for the places
- Only they would know
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li
- Only seeking workman's wages
- I come looking for a job
- But I get no offers
- Just a come on from the
- Whores on Seventh Avenue
- I do declare there were
- Times when I was so lonesome
- I took some comfort there
- In a laying out my winter
- Clothes and wishing I was home
- Going home
- Where the New York City
- Winters aren't a bleding me
- Bleeding me
- Going home
- Da da da
- Da da da
- Da da da
- Da da da
- Da da da
- Da da da
- Da da da
- In the clearing stands a
- Boxer and a fighter by his trade
- And he carries the reminders
- Of every bloke that laid
- Him down or cleft him
- Till he cried out in his
- Anger and his shame
- I am leaving I am leaving
- But the fighter still remains
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
- Li li li
