[00:07.07] I am just a poor boy
[00:08.76] though my story's seldom told.
[00:11.31] I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.96] for a pocketful of mumbles'
[00:16.27] such are promises.
[00:19.85] All lies and jest.
[00:21.66] Still' a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:25.74] and disregards the rest.
[00:27.12] Mmm.......
[00:28.32] Mmm.......
[00:36.24] When I left my home
[00:37.68] and my family.
[00:38.87] I was no more than a boy.
[00:41.76] In the company of strangers'
[00:44.01] in the quiet of the railway station
[00:47.08] running scared.
[00:50.52] Laying low'
[00:51.64] seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:54.78] where the ragged people go.
[00:56.91] Looking for the places
[00:58.86] only they would know.
[01:02.31] Lie-la-lie.....
[01:04.62] Lie-la-lie.....
[01:17.92] Asking only workman's wages'
[01:20.49] I come looking for a job
[01:22.86] but I get no offers.
[01:25.79] Just a come-on from the whores
[01:27.92] on Seventh Avenue.
[01:31.49] I do declare'
[01:33.30] there were times
[01:34.50] when I was so lonesome
[01:36.74] I took some comfort there.
[01:38.57] Lie-la-lie.....
[01:46.25]
[02:11.13] Lie-la-lie.....
[02:13.72] Lie-la-lie.....
[02:16.79]
[02:26.97] Then I'm laying out
[02:28.90] my winter clothes
[02:29.90] and wishing I was gone.
[02:32.04] Going home'
[02:34.47] where the New York City winters
[02:36.84] aren't bleeding me.
[02:40.52] Leading me
[02:44.64] going home.
[02:49.71]
[02:53.72] In the clearing stands a boxer'
[02:55.97] and a fighter by his trade.
[02:58.59] And he carries the reminders
[03:01.24] of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:03.94] or cut him till he cried out.
[03:06.32] In his anger and his shame'
[03:08.51] "I am leaving' I am leaving."
[03:11.13] But the fighter still remains.
[03:13.92] Mmm............
[03:18.94] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:26.40] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:30.89] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:36.23] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:41.28] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:46.40] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:51.47] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:56.60] Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
