I'm just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises: All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of a railway station Running scared. Laying low Seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged People go Looking for the places only they would know. Lie-la-lie … Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a comeon from the hores on Seventh Avenue. I do declare There were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there Oh la la La la La la. 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 me going home In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders of ev'ry glove that laid him down Or cut him till he cried out in his anger an his shame: I am leaving, I am leaving! But the fighter still remains |
