The Boxer - Shindig Society[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[00:00:10]

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

Such are promises[00:00:16]

All lies and jest[00:00:19]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:21]

And disregards the rest [00:00:24]

When I left my home[00:00:35]

And my family [00:00:37]

I was no more than a boy[00:00:38]

In the company of strangers[00:00:40]

In the quiet of the railway station [00:00:43]

Running scared [00:00:46]

Laying low [00:00:49]

Seeking out the poorer quarters[00:00:51]

Where the ragged people go [00:00:53]

Looking for the places[00:00:56]

Only they would know [00:00:58]

Lie-la-lie [00:01:02]

Asking only workman's wages[00:01:17]

I e looking for a job [00:01:19]

But I get no offers [00:01:22]

Just a e-on from the whores[00:01:25]

On Seventh Avenue[00:01:27]

I do declare [00:01:31]

There were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:32]

I took some comfort there [00:01:36]

Lie-la-lie [00:01:38]

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes[00:02:26]

And wishing I was gone[00:02:29]

Going home[00:02:31]

Where the New York City winters[00:02:34]

Aren't bleeding me [00:02:36]

Leading me [00:02:40]

Going home [00:02:44]

In the clearing stands a boxer [00:02:54]

And a fighter by his trade[00:02:56]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:59]

Of ev'ry glove that laid him down[00:03:02]

Or cut him till he cried out[00:03:04]

In his anger and his shame [00:03:07]

I am leaving I am leaving [00:03:09]

But the fighter still remains[00:03:12]

Lie-la-lie[00:03:20]
