The Boxer - Emmylou Harris[00:00:01]

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told[00:00:06]

I have squandered my existence[00:00:11]

On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises[00:00:13]

All lies in jest till a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:18]

And disregards the rest[00:00:24]

Well I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy[00:00:31]

In the company of strangers in the quiet of the railway station[00:00:37]

Runnin' scared layin' low seeking out the poor quarters[00:00:42]

Where the ragged people go looking for the places[00:00:49]

Only they would know[00:00:54]

Li la li[00:00:57]

Li la li[00:00:59]

Li la li[00:01:01]

Li la li[00:01:02]

Li la li[00:01:05]

Li la li[00:01:06]

Only seeking workman's wages[00:01:11]

I come looking for a job but I get no offers[00:01:13]

Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue[00:01:19]

I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:24]

I took some comfort there[00:01:29]

In a-laying out my winter clothes[00:01:36]

And wishing I was home going home[00:01:39]

Where the New York City winters[00:01:44]

Aren't a-bleeding me bleeding me[00:01:47]

Going home[00:01:52]

Da da da[00:01:55]

Da da da[00:01:59]

Da da da[00:02:02]

Da da da[00:02:04]

Da da da[00:02:06]

Da da da[00:02:08]

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:02:15]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:20]

Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him[00:02:23]

Till he cried out in his anger and his shame[00:02:27]

I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains[00:02:31]

Li la li[00:02:39]

Li la li[00:02:42]

Li la li[00:02:43]

Li la li[00:02:44]

Li la li[00:02:47]

Li la li[00:02:48]

Li la li[00:02:49]
