The Boxer - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]

I am just a poor boy[00:00:06]

Though my story's seldom told [00:00:08]

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

For a pocketful of mumbles [00:00:13]

Such are promises [00:00:16]

All lies and jest [00:00:18]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:20]

And disregards the rest [00:00:23]

When I left my home[00:00:31]

And my family [00:00:33]

I was no more than a boy [00:00:34]

In the company of strangers [00:00:37]

In the quiet of the railway station[00:00:40]

Running scared [00:00:43]

Laying low [00:00:45]

Seeking out the poorer quarters[00:00:46]

Where the ragged people go [00:00:49]

Looking for the places[00:00:52]

Only they would know [00:00:53]

Lie-la-lie [00:00:57]

Asking only workman's wages [00:01:11]

I come looking for a job[00:01:14]

But I get no offers [00:01:16]

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

On Seventh Avenue [00:01:22]

I do declare [00:01:24]

There were times[00:01:26]

When I was so lonesome[00:01:27]

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

Then I'm laying out[00:01:38]

My winter clothes[00:01:39]

And wishing I was gone [00:01:40]

Going home [00:01:43]

Where the New York City winters[00:01:46]

Aren't bleeding me [00:01:48]

Leading me[00:01:51]

Going home [00:01:54]

Lie-la-lie[00:01:57]

In the clearing stands a boxer [00:02:18]

And a fighter by his trade [00:02:20]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:23]

Of every glove that laid him down[00:02:26]

Or cut him till he cried out [00:02:29]

In his anger and his shame [00:02:31]

"I am leaving I am leaving "[00:02:34]

But the fighter still remains [00:02:37]

Lie-la-lie[00:02:42]
