Karaoke Track: Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel (Toshiba)

I am just a poor boy

Though my story&#39;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&#39;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&#39;m laying

out my winter clothes

And wishing I was gone

W here the New York City

winters aren&#39;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 . . .
