[00:06.21] |
I am just a poor boy |
[00:08.32] |
though my story's seldom told. |
[00:11.09] |
I have squandered my resistance |
[00:14.01] |
for a pocketful of mumbles, |
[00:16.13] |
such are promises. |
[00:20.18] |
All lies and jest. |
[00:21.60] |
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear |
[00:24.59] |
and disregards the rest. |
[00:26.87] |
Mmm....... |
[00:30.20] |
Mmm....... |
[00:31.84] |
|
[00:36.32] |
When I left my home |
[00:37.61] |
and my family. |
[00:38.98] |
I was no more than a boy. |
[00:41.33] |
In the company of strangers, |
[00:44.22] |
in the quiet of the railway station |
[00:47.07] |
running scared. |
[00:48.55] |
|
[00:50.58] |
Laying low, |
[00:51.80] |
seeking out the poorer quarters |
[00:54.33] |
where the ragged people go. |
[00:57.08] |
Looking for the places |
[00:58.98] |
only they would know. |
[01:10.06][01:02.25] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
[01:14.60] |
|
[01:18.18] |
Asking only workman's wages, |
[01:20.59] |
I come looking for a job |
[01:22.80] |
but I get no offers. |
[01:26.01] |
Just a come-on from the whores |
[01:28.18] |
on Seventh Avenue. |
[01:32.16] |
I do declare, |
[01:33.45] |
there were times |
[01:34.66] |
when I was so lonesome |
[01:36.62] |
I took some comfort there. |
[01:38.85] |
Lie-la-lie..... |

Lie-la-lie..... |
[02:19.15] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
[02:23.47] |
|
[02:26.98] |
Then I'm laying out |
[02:28.18] |
my winter clothes |
[02:29.62] |
and wishing I was gone. |
[02:31.70] |
Going home, |
[02:34.70] |
where the New York City winters |
[02:36.88] |
aren't bleeding me. |
[02:40.57] |
Leading me |
[02:44.50] |
going home. |
[02:47.67] |
|
[02:53.69] |
In the clearing stands a boxer, |
[02:56.02] |
and a fighter by his trade. |
[02:58.79] |
And he carries the reminders |
[03:01.89] |
of ev'ry glove that laid him down |
[03:04.08] |
or cut him till he cried out. |
[03:06.83] |
In his anger and his shame, |
[03:08.88] |
"I am leaving, I am leaving." |
[03:11.76] |
But the fighter still remains. |
[03:14.12] |
Mmm............ |
[03:16.07] |
|
[04:02.61][03:19.10] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
[04:12.52][03:32.33] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
[04:22.82][03:42.57] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
[04:32.75][03:52.52] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
