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 [00:00:15]
All lies and jest [00:00:16]
Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:19]
And disregards the rest [00:00:23]
Mmm [00:00:25]
Mmm [00:00:27]
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 [00:00:41]
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 [00:01:01]
Lie-la-lie [00:01:04]
Asking only workman's wages [00:01:17]
I come looking for a job[00:01:19]
But I get no offers [00:01:21]
Just a come-on from the whores[00:01:25]
On Seventh Avenue [00:01:27]
I do declare [00:01:31]
There were times[00:01:32]
When I was so lonesome[00:01:33]
I took some comfort there [00:01:36]
Lie-la-lie [00:02:10]
Lie-la-lie [00:02:15]
Lie-la-lie [00:02:26]
Then I'm laying out[00:02:27]
My winter clothes[00:02:29]
And wishing I was gone [00:02:29]
Going home [00:02:34]
Where the New York City winters[00:02:35]
Aren't bleeding me [00:02:38]
Leading me[00:02:39]
Going home [00:02:43]
In the clearing stands a boxer [00:02:53]
And a fighter by his trade [00:02:55]
And he carries the reminders[00:02:58]
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down[00:02:59]
Or cut him till he cried out [00:03:03]
In his anger and his shame [00:03:06]
"I am leaving I am leaving "[00:03:08]
But the fighter still remains [00:03:10]
Mmm [00:03:13]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:03:18]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:03:23]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:03:33]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:03:41]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:03:54]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:04:01]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:04:09]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie[00:04:26]
