I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told

I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises

All l ies and j est, still a m an hears what he w ants to hear and disregards the r est

mmmm mmmm mmmmmm, mmm mm mm mmm mm

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers, in the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go

Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie la lie, lie la lie

Lie la la la lie la lie, la la la la lie

Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job

But I get no o ffers, just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

I do de clare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there

La la, la la la la la

(Instrumental) :

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie la lie, lie la lie

Lie la la la lie la lie, la la la la lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, going home

Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me

Leading meeeeee , going ho me

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down

or cut him 'til he cried out

In his anger and his shame, "I am leaving,

I am leaving, but the fighter still remains"

Mmmm mmmm m

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie la lie, lie la lie

Lie lie lie, lie (ad lib)
