The Boxer

I am just a poor boy

  • I am just a poor boy
  • Though my story's seldom told
  • I have squandered my resistance
  • For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
  • All lies and jests
  • Still a man hears
  • What he wants to hear
  • And disregards the rest
  • When I left my home and my family
  • I was no more than a boy
  • In the company of strangers
  • In the quiet of the railway stations running scared
  • Laying low seeking out the poor quarters
  • Where the ragged people go
  • Looking for the places
  • Only they would know
  • Lailllaalai laalialaii laiilai laiiilai
  • Asking only 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
  • Llalalallalala
  • Lalilailai lailailai lailai lailailai
  • And I'm laying down my winter clothes
  • And wishing I was home going home
  • Where the New York city winters
  • Are bleeding me
  • Bleeding me
  • Going home
  • In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by
  • His trade
  • And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid
  • Him down
  • And cut him 'till he cried out in his anger
  • And his shame
  • I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still
  • Remains
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
  • Lalailailai lailailai lai laiilaii laiilallalaliii
