I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom t old

I have s quandered my existence

On a p ocket full of mumbles such are p romises

All lies in j est 'til a m an hears what he w ants to hear

And disregards the r est

Well I l eft my home and my family

I was no more than a b oy in the co mpany of strangers

In the quiet of the railway station ru nning scared l aying low

Seeking o ut the poor qua rters where the ragged people g o

Looking f or the places o nly th ey would k now

L ie-la-Lie Lie-la-L ie Lie Lie-la-Lie

Lie-la-L ie Lie-la-L ie Lie Lie Lie L ie La-La-La-La L ie

Only s eeking workman's wages

I come looking for a j ob but I get no o ffers

Just a co me-on from the whores on Seventh A venue

I do decl are there were t imes when I was s o lonesome

I took some comfort t here

In a-la ying out my winter clothes

And wishing I was h ome going h ome

Where the N ew York City winters aren't a-bl eeding me

Bleeding m e going h ome

L a La La L a La La

La-L a La La La-La L a La La-La

La-L a La La La

In the c learing stands a boxer and a fighter by his t rade

And he c arries the reminders

Of every bloke that laid him down or c left him

'Til he cried out in his anger and his s hame

I am le aving I am le aving but the fighter still r emains

L ie-la-Lie Lie-la-L ie Lie Lie-la-Lie

Lie-la-L ie Lie-la-L ie Lie Lie Lie L ie La-La-La-La L ie
