The Boxer (Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris[00:00:01]

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told[00:00:03]

I have squandered my existence[00:00:10]

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[00:00:16]

And disregards the rest[00:00:23]

Well I left my home and family I was no more than a boy[00:00:25]

In the company of strangers[00:00:36]

In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared[00:00:39]

Layin' low seeking out the poor quarters[00:00:43]

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

Only they would know[00:00:53]

Li Li Li (etc )[00:00:55]

Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job[00:01:10]

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

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue[00:01:17]

I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:23]

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

In a-laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was home[00:01:31]

Going home[00:01:41]

Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleding me[00:01:43]

Bleeding me[00:01:48]

Going home[00:01:52]

Da Da Da (etc )[00:01:55]

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:02:11]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:19]

Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him[00:02:22]

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

I am leaving I am leaving[00:02:32]

But the fighter still remains[00:02:33]

Li Li Li[00:02:35]
