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 pocketful of mumbles
  • Such are promises
  • All lies and jest
  • 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 a railway station
  • Running 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 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
  • La la la la la la
  • 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
  • Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
  • And wishing I was gone
  • Going home
  • Where the New York city winters aren't bleeding me
  • Leading me
  • To going home
  • In the clearing stands a boxer
  • And a fighter by his trade
  • And he carries the remainders
  • 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
  • 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 la lie la lie
  • Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie la lie
