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
