I am iusi a poor boy,
Though my story's
Seldom told
For a pockeHuI of

Mumbles,

Such are promises
All lies and jest,
Still a man hears

What he wants to hear and
Disregards the rest
Mm mm mm mm mm,

mm mm mm, mm
Mm mm mm mm mm,

Mm mm mm mm, mm
When I IeH my home
And my fa mily,

I was no more than a boy
In the compa ny
Of strangers
In the quiet

Of a railway station
Runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out
The poorer quarters

Where the rugged people
(30
Lookin' for

The places
Only they would know
Lie Ia lie,
Lie Io lie lie lie lie lie,

Lie la lie,
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie
Asking only

We rkma n's wo ges,

I've come loo kin'

For a iob, but I get
No offers
Just a come-on

From the whores on
Seventh Avenue
I do declare,

There were times when

I was so lonesome

I took some comfort 1here,

Ooh la la la la la la la
(Instrumental Break)
Lie la lie,
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie,
Lie la lie
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie

La la la la lie
Then I'm laying out
My winter clothes and

Wishing l was gone,
Goin' home
Where the

New York Ciiy winters
Aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me,

Goin' home
In the clearing
Stands a boxer and

A fighter by his trade,
And he carries
The reminders
In his anger and his shame
I am leaving,

I am leaving,
But he fighter sii remains,
Mm mm mm
Lie Ia lie,
Lie Io lie lie lie lie lie,

Lie la lie,
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie,
Lie Ia lie,

Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie,
Lie Ia lie,

Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie
Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie,
Lie Ia lie,

Lie Ia lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie
