I am just a poor boy
though my story's

seldom told.
I've squandered my
resistance

All lies and jest, still
the man hears what
he wants to hear and
disregards the rest,
hmmmmm

When I left my home
and my family, I was no
more than a boy in the
company of strangers

In the quiet of

the railway station,
runnin' scared

Laying low, seeking out
the poorer quarters,
where the ragged
people go. Looking for
the places only they
would know

Li- La- Li

Asking only workman's
wages. I've come lookin'

for a job. but I get no
offers

Just a come-on from

the whores on 7th
avenue

I do declare, there were
times when I was so
lonesome, I took
some comfort there,
Ia-Ia-Ia-Ia-Ia-Ia-Ia

Li-La- Li

Li-La- Li-Li-Li-Li-Li

Li-Li-Li-Li-Li-Li-Li

And I'm laying out
my winter clothes and

wishing I was gone,
goin' home

Where the

New York City 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

Of every glove that laid
him down, or cut him
'til he cried out in his
anger and his shame

I am leaving,
I am leaving, but the

fighter still remains,
hmmm
