I am just a poor boy

Though my story's seldom tol d

I have sq uandered my resistance

For a po cket full of mumbles such are pr omises.

All lies and je st

Still a ma n hears what he w ants to hear

And disregards the r est.

When I le ft my home and my family

I was no more than a bo y

In the co mpany of strangers

In the qu iet of a railway station ru nning scared.

Laying lo w seeking ou t the poorer qu arters

Where the ragged people g o

Looking fo r the places on ly the wo uld kno w.

Lie la li e lie la li e lie lie la lie

Lie la li e

Lie la l ie la lie la lie la la la la l ie.

Asking on ly workmans wages

I come looking for a jo b

But I get no off ers

Just a co me-on from the whores on Seventh Ave nue.

I do decla re there were ti mes when I was s o lonesome

I took some comfort th ere la la l a la la.

Lie la li e lie la li e lie lie la lie

Lie la li e

Lie la l ie la lie la lie la la la la l ie.

Then I 'm laying out my winter clothes

And wishing I was go ne

Going ho me

Where the Ne w York City winters aren't bl eeding me

B leeding me __ __ Going ho me.

In the cl earing stands the boxer

And a fighter by his tra de

And he c arries the reminders

Of Ev ery glove that layed him down

Or cu t him till he cried out

In his anger and his sha me

"I am l eaving I am l eaving!"

But the fighter still r emains.

Lie la li e lie la li e lie lie la lie

Lie la li e

Lie la l ie la lie la lie la la la la l ie.
