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
