The Boxer(Live at Carnegie Hall, NYC, NY - November 27, 1969)

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
  • Pocketful of mumbles such are promises
  • All lies and jest still a
  • Man hears what he wants to hear
  • And disregards the rest hmmmm
  • 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 station
  • Runnin' scared laying low
  • Seeking out the poorer quarters
  • Where the ragged people go
  • Looking for the places only they would know
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
  • Asking only workman's wages
  • I come lookin' for a job
  • But I get no offers
  • Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
  • I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
  • I took some comfort there lalalalalalala
  • Now the years are rolling by me
  • They are rockin' evenly
  • I am older than I once was
  • And younger than I'll be that's not unusual
  • Nor is it strange
  • After changes upon changes
  • We are more or less the same
  • After changes we are more or less the same
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
  • And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
  • Goin' home
  • Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
  • Leadin' me
  • Goin' home
  • In the clearing stands a boxer
  • And a fighter by his trade
  • And he carries the reminders
  • Of every glove that laid him down or cut him
  • 'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
  • I am leaving I am leaving
  • But the fighter still remains
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
  • La la lie la lie
