I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told I havesquandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, Such are promises, alllies and jest, Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards therest, hmmmm
When I left my home and my family, I's no more than aboy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station,runnin' scared, laying low, Seeking out the poorer quarters, where theragged people go, Looking for the places only they would know.
Li lali...
Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job, But Iget no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue. I do declare,there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there.
Lala la...
(Instrumental bridge)
Li la li...
And I'm layingout my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, goin' home Where the NewYork City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me, goin' home.
In theclearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade And he carries thereminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him 'Til he cried out inhis anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter stillremains.
