I am just a poor boy

Though my story's

seldom told
For a pocketful of mumbles

Such are promises
Still a man hears

what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest

mm . ..
When I left my home

And my family

I was no more than a boy
In the quiet of the railway

station running scared
Seeking out

the poorer quarters

Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places

Only they would know
Asking only workman's
wages I come looking

for a job but I get no offers
There were times

when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there
La la la la la la la
Then I'm laying

out my winter clothes

And wishing I was gone
W here 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
I am leaving I am leaving

But the fighter

still remains mm . . .
