| [00:06.210] |
I am just a poor boy |
| [00:08.320] |
though my story's seldom told. |
| [00:11.900] |
I have squandered my resistance |
| [00:14.100] |
for a pocketful of mumbles, |
| [00:16.129] |
such are promises. |
| [00:20.180] |
All lies and jest. |
| [00:21.600] |
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear |
| [00:24.590] |
and disregards the rest. |
| [00:26.870] |
Mmm....... |
| [00:30.200] |
Mmm....... |
| [00:31.840] |
|
| [00:36.320] |
When I left my home |
| [00:37.610] |
and my family. |
| [00:38.980] |
I was no more than a boy. |
| [00:41.330] |
In the company of strangers, |
| [00:44.220] |
in the quiet of the railway station |
| [00:47.700] |
running scared. |
| [00:48.550] |
|
| [00:50.580] |
Laying low, |
| [00:51.800] |
seeking out the poorer quarters |
| [00:54.330] |
where the ragged people go. |
| [00:57.800] |
Looking for the places |
| [00:58.980] |
only they would know. |
| [01:02.250] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [01:10.600] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [01:14.600] |
|
| [01:18.180] |
Asking only workman's wages, |
| [01:20.590] |
I come looking for a job |
| [01:22.800] |
but I get no offers. |
| [01:26.100] |
Just a come-on from the whores |
| [01:28.180] |
on Seventh Avenue. |
| [01:32.160] |
I do declare, |
| [01:33.450] |
there were times |
| [01:34.660] |
when I was so lonesome |
| [01:36.620] |
I took some comfort there. |
| [01:38.850] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [01:46.900] |
|
| [01:56.140] |
|
| [02:05.720] |
|
| [02:11.120] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [02:19.150] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [02:23.470] |
|
| [02:26.980] |
Then I'm laying out |
| [02:28.180] |
my winter clothes |
| [02:29.620] |
and wishing I was gone. |
| [02:31.700] |
Going home, |
| [02:34.700] |
where the New York City winters |
| [02:36.880] |
aren't bleeding me. |
| [02:40.570] |
Leading me |
| [02:44.500] |
going home. |
| [02:47.670] |
|
| [02:53.690] |
In the clearing stands a boxer, |
| [02:56.200] |
and a fighter by his trade. |
| [02:58.790] |
And he carries the reminders |
| [03:01.890] |
of ev'ry glove that laid him down |
| [03:04.800] |
or cut him till he cried out. |
| [03:06.830] |
In his anger and his shame, |
| [03:08.880] |
I am leaving, I am leaving. |
| [03:11.760] |
But the fighter still remains. |
| [03:14.120] |
Mmm............ |
| [03:16.700] |
|
| [03:19.100] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [03:32.329] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [03:42.570] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [03:52.520] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:02.610] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:12.520] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:22.820] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:32.750] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:41.260] |
|
| [04:51.330] |
|
| [05:01.230] |
|
| [05:06.280] |
